you'll find a secondary lock holding the pins in. Push away on the lock and the pin will come out.

I not seeing a secondary lock. Is it on the top where the wire goes into the connector or the bottom where the connector connects to the other harness? Is it one lock for all the pins/terminals or a lock per pin/terminal? Which way does the terminal come out, top or bottom? By the way, I'm having to lean into the car, over the door bars and race seat so I'm kinda working one handed.
After that is pulled out the pin can be released from the connector shell by using a pick tool to pull the locking tab away from the pin. The pin comes out from the back/wire side of the connector.
It's more complicated to type than to do.

The secondary lock is built into the connector shell. It hinges away from the connector, held in by 2 tiny "straps" of plastic on the ends of the connector.

OK, so just stop by tomorrow then, I'll buy you a beer. Just kidding but I will buy you a beer next time you're in town. My back is twisted, must take a break and finish it tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
