stuck c101 plug wtf?

[bmw9818]

okay so changing my engine loom, first things first disconnect c101....

the fucker wont come off! im not being dimwitted or weak here,

but it seems as if its fused on somehow? i only changed it about a week ago, it came on off a few times as well no issues...

i checked pin 20 and cut both ends off and heatshrinked it,

ive cut the twisty thing off as that didnt budge it for shit now im just left with the two ends bare and it wont come off?

ive twisted pulled got my uncle in on it it wont come apart?

this is new to me, its just such a fucking pita!

Heat gun, warm it up and it should move

i tried it, it just burned! ended up using a hacksaw and a screwdriver, totally destroyed the engine loom connector,

there was a solventy smell when i smelt it in the plugs, then i remembered spraying halfrauds electrical contact cleaner into it,

turns out it also doubles up as superglue!

Tip for using contact cleaner: Pull the connector apart, spray cleaner into each half, push the plug and socket together and pull them apart a few times, then pull them apart and let them dry.
Than a spray with a little silicon grease before final assembly.
