Default How to remove RCM connectors?

I'm trying to troubleshoot my P0410 CEL and read about checking the contacts on the relay. How do you get the harness connectors off to remove the RCM? It looks like each connector has 4 tabs that have to be pressed in. Is there a special tool or something?

Thanks

Curt

They just pull off, do not put any tension on the wires though. They are a bit tough to remove. Rock them end to end.

And it is much easier if you pull the module out before trying to remove the connectors, that way you have something to grip.

This is very true, everyone does but I did not state that fact.

OK just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break some plastic thingy by pulling straight up. Thanks.
