Default Controller install help needed

I'm trying to install the Vitesse controller and am having a hard time with the connector on the gas pedal. Anyone that has installed the Vitesse I have a question. How did you squeeze both sides of the connector.

If you can help me please call me and walk me through this. My number is 404 915 3587.

Somewhere in THIS thread lies your answer.

Take out the 4 bolts that hold the gas pedal in. You will then have far easier access to the plug. You need to pry the gray piece up first and then remove the connector. It's obvious once you can see what you're doing!

Google search this install for a Camaro and select video when you search. It's the same connector and essentially the same process.

After you flip up the obvious gray locking mechanism there are two little **** molded on either side of the plug. Squeeze them in and pull apart. When you replace it push until you hear them click.

This looks like something I could really enjoy. As simple as the install looks, due to my back problems, I need assistance. I live in the Daytona/Orlando area. If any of you know of a mechanic or someone familiar with Vitesse in my area, please let me know. This would be a huge improvement on my stock 09 auto coupe.
