Help me remove this connector

[atcpup]

Can someone please advise on how to remove these pins from this connector. I'm doing an ORS elocker harness install and it requires the number 5 connector (instrument cluster) to be replaced with theirs.

I pushed the pin into the connector, then poked the end of it with a paper clip.

So, to remove you pushed a pin (like a paper clip) into the side the wire is entering the connector?

So, I went to the local u pull and brought home the connector to figure it out, that way I wouldn't booger mine up. You have to remove the 2 white plastic guards and then stick a small screwdriver in. What a beech! Anyhow, thought I would pass it along

Yeah. Most toyota connectors have a lock. You have to unlock it. Then stick something skinny while pulling on that wire and it should pull out.
