NO, not the "wires" but the wire "connectors" are to be removed.
"pull by the wires" means to pull the assembly up out of the big plastic box by grabbing the whole assembly wires and all to get it free, then disconnect the connectors to free the RCM from the harness.
1) Open the Control Module container box.

2) Push any wires on top of the RCM aside to access the RCM.

3) Grab the RCM wire loom and gently lift the complete assembly out of its nesting hole, tilting the front side up first.

5) Disconnect the wire connectors from the RCM. (all are unique, order of disconnect not important)
