happy to help if you have any more problems, feel free to call my cell if you like.

It may be easier if I could get my hand like you show but the cable stops me from pulling it out more than two inches at most.
Edit
I lifted the tab and turned the plastic collar with a pair of pliers. Not the best but that SOB was on there real tight.
Plug out of the front and now it's on the operating table.

On assembly it went together really easy, pushed in and turned no sweat.

Good tip for clumsy old men.
To prevent dropping the clip on the rod I used some fine wire through the hinge point on it and tied it on to the harness. I never got close to dropping it but you never know.
