How can I remove the plug from the coils?

i have a question would like to ask you guys. i have been trying so hard to remove the "plug" from the coils, and even i press the "green part" so hard and pull, the plug still didn't move a bit. does anyone know is any tools or any way i can remove it? the coils seems not very hard to replace by reading the coils write up by Fat, but the plug is just too hard to remove.



I did squeeze/push the green part and pull real hard, but i still coudln't get it out.

Thanks a lot!!

use a flat head screwdriver and the plug will come out. Put and pres the flat head next to the where you have the RED arrow and you are set to go

You need to push the green piece down into the grey part of the connector, I used a flat head screw driver to push it in and lifted the whole thin off of the coil with my hand

The Green Clip pushes in and locks down when you pull it off, the green clip then snaps back up once you reinstall the plug and it locks it down holding it on.

I think all there clips are tough pushing in before pulling out helps but I also use a screwdriver sometimes to push the clip in and you hear a snap and usually they slide out then.
