Default Throttle Body 6 Pin Connector

I am trying to take it apart to install a rubber boot. I have the back off and trying to use a paper clip on the front of each pin location to remove the wires but no joy. Any suggestions? This is on a 2009 FLHTCU.

Here is a pic of the front of the connector to show how I am trying to free each wire.

Disregard. Whether it was the correct or not I took the connector completely apart. I am thankful I didn't break anything.

In case you did not realize it that white part is a secondary lock. You can't remove the pins with it in place. You need to pull it out a 1/8" or so to unlock it. After that a safety pin or some such pointed object will pop the pins loose.
Now that you have it apart take a real good look for future reference.

I see what you mean. I was able to get the secondary lock to move out 1/8" or so and then proceeded to gently remove it entirely since I didn't know how it worked. Removing the secondary lock caused me to have to turn each pin a 1/4 turn to easily remove them. I will reinstall the secondary lock so the pins can be reinserted the correct way and much easier I am sure. Thanks!

It think you are wrong...

I`m pretty sure those Molex MX 150 connectors are at least $2.50....
