Then there was the time I was working on my boat engine and I stuck my finger in a spinning drive pulley. When I got myself to the emergency room, with blood oozing through the paper towels I had wrapped around my thrashed finger, the nurse asked, "What happened?" To which I replied, "Yachting accident."

Machines want blood. Good to remember. Guys working around machinery is God's way of weeding the gene pool. Good to remember that, too!!

Extra disassembly to avoid bloodshed. Too late for me.

The disassembly is for NMs way of routing the module.

My post was how to disconnect the connector with just a hook tool!!

Yeah, I remember watching the NM vid -- it is excellent. Then I decided it was too much work to take everything apart. Ended up spending as much time trying to work in the tight space to get everything aligned -- should have used the time to do the full disassembly as per the video. And the gods punished me by drawing blood and making the grey clip disappear into the great abyss. Fair enough. We all have our own ideas of what's fun
