Resolved Can't figure out how to release the power transistor connector :(!

[TrevorS]

I need to remove the power transistor pack from my '90 GSX. It's tucked low to the immediate right of the timing belt cover and screwed to a bracket that mounts with two bolts. The connector extends over the heads of both screw and bolts. I was able to remove the upper bolt with a 10mm combination wrench, but the lower one just doesn't want to let go. I've soaked it with penetrating oil, but I'm getting afraid of damaging the head flats. If I could figure out how to release that connector, I could apply a ratchet to the stuck bolt and it would be easier to safely remove.

I've felt around it for a tab and pushed and pulled and squeezed, but haven't been able to get anywhere. Can someone please tell me exactly how to remove that connector?

The connector has a wire retaining ring, I had to use a pick tool to pull each narrow end away from the connector. Doing that willl allow you to remove the connector.

Don't lose that clip haha. It's a pain to find it when you drop it.

Thanks guys, your help made all the difference. As it turned out the head of the bolt was already too damaged for a metric socket to hold, but fortunately a Metrinch socket grabbed fine -- bolt was seriously tight. Then I discovered yet a third bolt, that bracket was very secure. Thanks again -- just couldn't make out that wire clip.
