I bought a Cobra Auto Tuner and can't get the fuel injector connectors off. I have removed the two rear bolts and lift the rear of the tank, I can't seam to get the connectors off. Is there a trick to removing them? Any help is appreciated.
??? :-\

I ended up using a long set of needlenose pliers. This is the set that I got realy cheap at AutoZone. Hope this helps.

Getting the locking piece pushed in far enough to allow me to unplug them was the hardest part for me. I found cursing loudly helped... ymmv 8)

I know that feeling brotha. I am sure my neighbors were wondering what the **** was going on inside my garage last night. My hands are to big to reach in, I think I am going to take the tank off tonight and see if I can than complete my task.

I agree with Rodekill. Even with the tank lifted its still a rather small space, so I had a hard time with just my hands. I believe I used a regular set of needle-nose to get mine off. Tho it did take a while, and a few adult words of encouragement.

I had a hard time installing my tuner also. I lifted the tank from the back per the instructions that came with it. I still didn't really have enough room. I was able to do the rear cylinder injector plug pretty easily but the front cylinder injector plug pissed me off for two hours until I finally had my wife help from the other side. With her help, using needle-nose pliers and me pinching my fingers under the tank, I got the connector off.

Following a tip from here I bought a set of double x pliers. Im not highly mechanical and found it to be pretty easy. I got this set of pliers at sears
