    Any tips on how you get the wire clips off of wiring harnesses, such as the two electrical connectors on the IAA? Even after the battery is removed those connectors are tough to get to, and I can't see an easy way to remove the clips to slide them off. I've studied the TPS connector one cause it's easy to get to, but I can't fathom how they're meant to be removed easily.

    So I reckon I get to the two on the IAA with a pair of needle-nose pliers, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tricks or know how Nissan recommended to remove them.

    Not too hard ... just a PITA :)

    Use a sharp probe to prise the clip half way off one side before grabbing it with long-nose pliers.

    Then ease the other side off, making sure you DO NOT drop the clip!

    It's a bugger I know, but you get used to it. ;)
