How do I remove a D44 Locker Coil Wire?
I'm pulling the carrier on my stock front D44 Rubicon axle. I pulled the 8mm bolt and connector from the top of the diff. How do I remove the wires from the connector to allow them to pass thru the hole in the diff? Don't want to force anything, so thought I'd ask.
Thanks.

I am sure you figured it out by now, but in hopes somebody else may search and find this, you unplug it.
Like you said, undo the small 8mm bolt on top of housing, but the connector up GENTLY (I broke mine prying up on it with a screw driver). If you can't get it out, pry on it with a small screw driver, but pry CLOSE to where the wiring passes thru, NOT on the tab area where its bolted... that breaks off pretty easy. Best bet is push up from bottom while pulling.
Once up and out. Use a tiny screwdriver to unclip the clip and unplug the wires.
Done.
If you break your tab like I did, just epoxy it.
