    Replacing injector connector on late harness

    On the later 325i wiring harness, the big cover one above the fuel injectors....well i need to replace one of the plugs since it turned to dust upon removal.
    I have a few that i can use, i broke one with a hammer to see how to remove the pins and i guess i have to go from where it connects to the injector and somehow use a small pick to release the tang.
    With this in mind, i still cannot seem to release the electrical pins/wire out of the little plug and am getting frustrated.
    Any tips would be nice :(

    The easy solution would be to source the entire electrical rail from a salvage yard.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          I'm sure there is a tool to remove the contacts.
          I got a hold of an earlier injector harness, and it has the nicer spring loaded wire locks on the connectors.
          I should find the time to see if these spring loaded (finger) release jobbies are transferable to the later harness connectors (Fiddle with , using small screw driver).
