I read everything available about this install and began yesterday afternoon after receiving my VFC in the mail. Using long hook nosed pliers and a long screw driver I popped off the front injector connection no problem first try-the rear one is still attached after several attempts and the red retainer top popped off on my last try-I can see the release lever pushing in as I gently wiggle/lift the connector but can't seem to get it to release, and now the whole assembly seems kind of loose. Decided to back up and return to square one-that front O2 connection was a bitch to get snapped back together. Bike seems to be running fine but I know that rear injector connector's a bit beat up and now I'm just regrouping and contemplating how to get where I want to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian

Moral support is all I have to offer. Not the easiest thing Iv'e done. I spent some time just working the connectors on and off using the VFC connectors to practice. I used WD40 to make the going easier. The thing you have to realize is that it does not take much effort.

I appreciate the support-I was just taking a deep breath and thinking out loud, I'll give it a squirt of WD prior to my next attempt. Perhaps a ride in the cool mountain air will clear my head and I'll give it another go in the near future. Thanks, Brian

I did too along with some colorful metaphors. Then I proceeded to remove the clips from the injectors.

 It honestly took me almost 2 hours total to get those little bastards unclipped and clipped back on. Definitely the hardest part of the install.

The front O2 sensor connection is easier to access by removing the plastic shield at the front of the engine. You can also go to your local NAPA & get 2 each, male/female GM Weatherpack connectors & 4 seals to plug onto the disconnected ends of the O2 sensors & harness so corrosion won't get in them should you ever remove your VFC3.
