Exhaust fuze in truck is stuck

Beemw335 · 12-12-2011, 03:58 PM

Since its winter and dont want to change my exhaust now, I figured why not pull the fuze.
Its stuck no matter hard hard I pull lol
I used to do the original golf tee method, but I dont feel like having a tube hanging loose in a foot of snow(Canada) has anyone had a similar experience, should I just yank it, Im scared to break it lol.

You have to push the metal clip in then pull the black connector apart.

i had this same exact problem. just keep trying it, keep pushing that metal clip, softer/harder, wiggle it. once it's on the right spot, it'll pop off effortlessly.
i was fighting with this for a good 5-10 minutes and over multiple tries.

I know this sounds stupid, but the thing just wont come out its really beginning to piss me off.
Anyone have any tips? I pushed in the metal clip amd I start pulling up, the whole thing start comming up, so i tried holding down the part it plugs i to and then pulling up but its litteraly stuck..

wait.... exhaust fuse? for the rear actuators to engage and disengage?

Yes, it wont unplug!

make sure you're holding the right part, it'd be funny if you're trying to pry off the same side of the connector.
