There's a nut on the connectors, just unscrew those and the connectors will come off.

Do you want to remove it, or just cut power? If you just want to cut the power, then take a wrench and unscrew the nut that holds in the wire for the negative terminal (the one without the red plastic cover). Pull up once the bolt is loose and you are done.

anyone else have this problem... the nut is too far in and surrounded by its surroundings...

no wrench, pliar, or vise grip can get a good grip =\

Dude I can tell by looking at that pic that I could get that off with one of my wrenches.

Not trying to be a jerk, but .. it should be relatively easy if you get a decent wrench.

Voila! You've found the solution to your problem. You need to get your tools back.
