Default Racetronix pump harness question

Doing the trap door method... I need to de-pin the connectors (2) that go to the pump in order to pass the harness up between the tank and the body. I've got one de-pinnned and a piece of bailing wire to pull it through but it still gets hung up. Drew a wiring diagram so I know what goes where but I can NOT get the pins out of the female connector (female plastic part, but male spade connectors). I've been dicking with this thing for hours... the male one came apart in minutes, wtf am I doing wrong?

Awesome kit btw, just frustrated with this damn connector...

Is this only an issue with the trap door method? Just ordered my Racetronix but I'm dropping the tank.

If you're dropping the tank no prob. Trap door method leaves little to no room to fish that sucker up through there.

I got it tho, lowered the front of the tank 1/2" or so and got the harness up through there.

Still not sure why that other connector wouldn't come apart though...

Just did the install today(trap door). I only had to take apart the male connected. The other one passed through with no problem.
