Do they just pull out? From the top or bottom? They are such small pins that it sounds like a tedious job. My eyes are not so good anymore...LOL

The terminals pull out the back of the connector as soon as you trip the release. Yeah, it's pretty tedious. Look at the photo of the terminal in the Amazon ad. There is a metal strip on the terminal that snaps into the terminal and catches, preventing the terminal from backing out. Usually inserting a paper clip along side the terminal in the back of the connector will bend the catch back and release the terminal. If you look into the hole in the back of the connector where the terminal is, you can usually see where the catch is located. Easy does it. If a metal strip on a terminal gets permanently bent in too far to catch and be retained securely, you can gently pull it back out into place with a dental pick.
