88-91 cluster terminal de-pin?

[Kriegs]

Ok Ive got the 91 needle gauge cluster iam trying to install in my 90.

I cant for the life of me get these bloody terminals out of the black connector, and ive removed the little white lock piece that keeps them in place.
Ive tried using a pick but all it does is mangle the connector and pin...is there a specific tool or something? I cant really see the tab or lock of the pin to see where to release it from the connector.

I had this link saved. If you scroll down a couple pictures he explains he had to notch the plastic dash next to the cluster plug. Is this where you're having the issue?

nope, got the connector out of the dash to access the removal of pins.I had to trim some of the dash to get it out as well...I cant seem to get the actual pins out of the plastic connector/cluster plug it self for swapping them to the correct position for the 91 cluster

Oh, OK. Did you take a small cotter pin, open it up and push it in the connector side (flat side against the terminal) to depress the locking clip then pull the wire out?

Edit: You need to apply a little pressure against the back of the terminal to free up the locking clip, then pull the wire out.

Got it fingered out after manhandling one out...also found a pic of a similar connector pin.
had to insert a paper clip on the small window next to the terminal to release the hold.

I use a straight dental tool. I think it came from harbor freight.

I've hammered baling wire and ground it narrower to get a pin out. Also, when you replace your wiper blades, save those thin strips of metal that back up the rubber piece.
