Default How to remove electrical terminals?

Also posted in the tech section, hoping someone has a trick to
remove the turnsignal/taillight terminals pins from the connector
blocks?

I see that HD references a snap-on tool but hoping someone
has done this with a pick or small screwdriver.

Would have to order the tool and the bike is apart and sitting.

Thanks

for most:
push pin forward in block, insert small screwdriver to depress tab on pin ( usually on top) pull pin back

+1 or a stout paperclip, safety wire. Just make sure you have your service manual in case you forget what went where or at min. draw a diagram.

Just went to my dealer today - took my parts that needed to have the wires taken out of them watched my tech do it ( he did this for free) so push pin forward in block, insert small screwdriver from back to depress tab on pin ( usually on top) pull pin out
Front turn signals were not bad but the rear is different.
Ask you tech to do it. My Harley is also apart!

Around here (in Indiana), Menards hardware stores carries a tool to do just that, less than $4. Works great!
