I can't figure out how to get it out; the firewall area specifically. How do you get the firewall penetrations to come out?
Thanks in advance! | | |

Then pull the rubber grommets into the cab side using a pair of needlenose pliers. Old grommets will probably self destruct, you can get new ones. Then pull the connector back through. | | |

The only solution is rip out pieces of it with the needlenose pliers until you can get the connector out. You can't heat them, it will melt the connectors. | | |
