How do you remove the giant plug for the gauges.

I need to remove the entire thing so i can clean it up. I'm doing a full 100 percent re wire under the hood, no butt-splices, so I'm buying new terminals to do so. I can't figure out how the hell to pull this thing out.

It's in the firewall behing the strut tower on the driver side circled in the picture.

The fuse box connector? There's a screw in the middle and the 2 parts of the harness snap into each other, one is for the engine stuff the other for the headlights, horns and all.

Poke around in the sealant crap, the hex head is in there

The part just pulls out but may be stuck by the seakler. Do not uindo the snaps on thje side, that holds the other part together. The 2 plugs that go in on the front held by the bolt snap together

it looks like this
