1098 Stuck Ecu Plugs?

Discussion in '848 / 1098 / 1198' started by Old Jock, Oct 23, 2017.

  1. Ok I did a search and I'm trying to get the ECU plugs out to remove the get the ECU outta the way to install a Shindengen RR

    If I have it correct the 2 big "wheels" on the front of the plugs have to be turned through 90 degrees. The LH anti clockwise and RH clockwise.

    I cannot get these to turn and I'm worried about breaking them.

    Any tips, is there anything I'm missing, anything to be pulled/pushed removed etc: before I do this as I'm on the point of breaking them and they are not for turning and I do not want to break them!!

  2. There's a small tab that needs depressing to allow the "wheel" to rotate.

  3. Hi John. I think there’s a button or tab on there that needs depressing first. They are awkward til you get one of them off.

  11. As above Jock. Theres a tab you have to depress on em. I use a skinny wee small flat screwdriver to do it.

  12. which means there's a possibility this plug has never been removed. could be a bit tight. go easy. you can help the leaver move by giving the front of the plug a wee pull at the same time as lifting the leaver

  13. Thanks all plugs out.................fekin Ducati it's not exactly obvious is it?

    The tabs are underneath about 1/2 way along, they are not on the "wheels" themselves (for anybody as stupid as me & is Googling in desperation)

    Once located and pressed in the wheels turned really easily and the plugs slid out

    Wonder what else is going to bite me?
