De-Pinning Frustration - Question?
Hey Folks,
I'm trying to swap in Eibach springs and having the worst time trying to de-pin the mag ride connector. I was able to complete one shock fairly easily but I'm stuck on the second one. one wire is out but the other is just not letting go. Question, looking at the connector here, the wire is in position 1 which is on the right hole in the pic below. Do I slide the the purple plastic left or right to depin? It seems I go left and then try. Any other ideas are welcome. This seems impossible.

Take pictures before depinning of the switch position so the wires go back in right.
Yes it is a pain. It took me some time to get the pins back in and locked.
Remember there is a purple lock switch you have to slide first.
This video is awesome helped me big time.
1700 miles and lift works fine.
