Wire for alternator

Trying to get the wire unplugged from the alternator but I can barely reach my hand up there. What’s the secret to getting that off in the cramped space? If anyone has a picture of it so I can even see what type of connector it is I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,?
Just had to do this a couple weeks ago. There’s two different alternator styles - one with a “D” style connector and one with a square connector.?

The square connector has a metal clip securing the wire in place. Squeeze both sides to release. Demonstrated here:?https://youtu.be/-3VWxZfXdjE?t=100

The “D” connector has a plastic tab on the top that needs to be pulled up to release. a right angle pick tool or small screwdriver is useful. demonstrated here:?https://youtu.be/lwnNbEreqFU?t=544

Good luck!?
