Default Theta- Help!!!

Theta, removing my plenum cover for some custom air brushing. The wiring harness for the fuel injectors are attached to the plenum. Looks like a tie strap and some type of push pin. They are very stubborn to get out. The first one I attempted to remove is nearly mangled and still not coming out. Got any advice/tips? Tks, Doug

Get replacements from the dealer. We stock many of those little clips etc so when a job is done it is same a new, so to speak. No one see's it but I always thought it makes or breaks the car when you can tell it's been taken apart.

pull harder, they will come out and go back in.
