War Hammer is switching ECM's because he switched out his injectors and supercharger. To do this, he has to depin the connectors from one computer and put the ones for the other one on. Tried for a while tonight with a paper clip inserted into the front of the connector. Fiddles with it for a bit and it didn't seem to want to come loose. Anyone have anything with pictures to show what might have to be done? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If it's like the 500 block ( by the battery-I think that's what it's called?), there will be a whole segment of the block that pulls/slides out. Once it's removed, then you you can do your paper clip thing.

Is this an OBD2 PCM ? if it is you need to remove the blue and clear caps by pressing in the little tabs at each end. Then you will see the tabs hlding the pins, just pull those away from the pin and push thee pin the same way a little to release it from the inside side, and push it down, then pull it out the back.

There's a plastic bar that snaps in, across the backs of the pins.
Once you remove that par, the pins can be pushed out.
You may be able to use a stiff pin, but there are tools made to unlock the pins. There is a small tab that sticks out from the side of the pin that must be depressed. This will allow the pin to slide out.

They are kind of a pain in the butt.

Edit - This is for OBD1 connectors.

I prefer to use a skinny flat tipped screw driver (like the ones from a eye glass set) instead of the paper clip.

Lots to choose from. These type of tools will work for all other pins also. VSS, TPS, temp senders/switches, ect. Well worth the investment. Snap on not necissary but they make very nice tools.
