Hello,
I've been doing some work on my bike (new fairing, headlight mod, etc.) and, I've been having a real hard time splitting some of the electrical connectors on the bike. For the fairing, there are at least 6 (2 at the headlights, 2 from the controls and 2 for the turn indicators.
I twisted, squeezed, pulled, pushed, turned, wiggled and yanked and SWORE!
I got them all appart, using a thin screwdriver to displace the hook, or, an awl, but, it was a real PITA! At least with child resistant medicine bottles, I can get my kids to help, but, with the bike, it was brutal. And there are more than 1 type of connector, so, once you've figured one out, it ain't necessarily so on the next.
What's the trick to getting these things apart without damaging them? Is there a special tool?
Thanks
