Re: e38 ecm pin removal
Easy solution. Remove the wire covering by gently prying out on the two tabs where the wires meet the connector. Lift it off. Then pry the blue, grey or black pin retainer to expose the pins. Look inside and you will see small piano key type fingers holding the pin. Using a jewelers screwdriver, gently lift the piano key away from the pin and pull the wire out. Another option is to just cut the wire off and push it through the connector, after removing the colored connector portion.

Re: e38 ecm pin removal
oddly enough, the harness connectors that everyone cuts off has the same spacing as the micro relays. check out my L96 and other harness vids to see how they look/work. vid link is below and in my sig block. cost is zero. far as a fuse block, I use the ATO 6 fuse block off flea bay.

Re: e38 ecm pin removal
Removing that cover makes it a pita to snap back on when the teminals twist. I.bought the tool qhen that sum b was 65$
 and its stupid simple but is the right tool for the job. If you have ended length micro drill bit set will do the job too. Clint
