Rear ABS wiring harness (Left and right) plugs

[WeakSauz]

Currently dropping the whole rearend from my 2000.

is there a secret or tips/tricks to reaching the Left and Right ABS plastic plug-ins on top of the frame rails near the shock towers? Hoping to unplug that harness so I can just drop the axle with all of the ABS wiring still attached.

I've tried for 30mins to piddle with it, and I feel like you'd have to have baby hands to unplug those?

How long they been plugged in ? PB Blaster let em soak, Grease after.
I removed all mounting clips as much slack as you can. Have had to grab both sides of connector work two halfs break dirt/plastic bond before screwdriver. Think I used 3/16" to release connector.
Mine hooked up 200k mi wasn't bad.

They've never been unplugged in 21 years which explains alot . I'll try the PB route and use some dielectric grease when plugging back in.

Thanks-- I figured i'd ask here before screwing something up haha
