Hogtunes Install
I have an 07 Street Glide. I bought the 'tunes speakers and am in the install process. I got the outer fairing off with no problem, but believe it or not I cant unsnap the spade connectorsfrom the speakers.
Either I ama moron (very possible)nd there is a trick? I thought I did the hard part taking the outer fairing off. Can you guys help a wrench challenged do it yourselfer?

They are really tight. I did an install on a friends bike and had to use two pair of needle nose pliars. Be very careful not to damage anything but you'll have to go for it.

Mine were super tight also, I used a pair of needlenose pliers to pull them off. Be careful, is you are pulling hard and they give way........$hit can happen fast.

Your pulling them off a set of speakers that aren't worth having anyway, so if you damage the stock set, so what, once you get the Hogtunes installed the old stocks will end up in the garbage anyway
