Due to my clumsiness, I broke the throttle body connector when removing it, so it won't stay tight to the throttle body when reinstalled. I have a new connector on order, but how do I remove the pins from the old connector? Thanks in advance!

 

Got it. Since the connector was shot anyway, I just cut away the outside with a small side cutting pliers, and then I had access to the tabs that hold the pins in. Pressed them in with a small screwdriver, and the wires came right out.

 

MAKE SURE you GENTLY bend those tabs back out so they re-click into the NEW connector case. Otherwise, one or more bay 'back out' of said new connector. Might save some headaches down the road.

Yup, gently, and not too far. A successful transfer has occurred. Now to get the rest of the engine back together. In another thread...
