On my 1972, I was strongly tempted to use exactly that tool when I was removing the power brake booster!!

Your beer can is looking pretty tarnished. Are you removing to polish? Paint? Cover over it?

@LT4CMG By the way, thanks - - now I know that 'beer can' is the proper term for that.

My beer can and alternator covers I got from Pat at American Hydrocarbon. It helps cover up and keep the oxidation out of sight.

@LT4CMG Ah - a Z06 . Just a little over a year ago a friend let me drive his 2015 Z06. That was when the clock started counting down on the sale of our 1972 LT-1, and the purchase of our 2015 Z51. Can't thank my friend enough!

My first C7 was a 16Z51 I bought in 16, all black, M7. I miss that car a lot, I am a big fan of the sleek C7 stingray body, but when I found out the front engine was going to go away forever, I knew I had to get the Z. GM knocked it out of the park with the C7 vette in my opinion, and I can’t imagine ever letting this car go.

Glad you figured out how to get the connector loose - sometimes they can be a real PITA.
