    rear ABS connection removal

    hip deep in full rear suspension rebuild..

    so far have: shocks out, springs out, drive shaft off,
    speedo pulse sender, e-brake cables, brake lines, and trailing arm/sway bar links disconnected.

    right now, subframe, tralings arms, and diff are ready to come down. fasteners have already been loosened.

    the ABS connections are remaining..






    .. and they're solidly on. I’m inclined to grab some channel locks and attempt to wiggle them free. The reason for this post is to make sure there isn’t some trick to getting them off without ‘bustin shit up’.

    input appreciated.

    Just wiggle them side to side once you get the bolt out.

      yeah, grip onto it with vice grips, twist it back and forth. Every once in a while, hit a screwdriver between them with a hammer to separate them.
