It's really simple. Pull the latch back on the plug and it guides it self off the unit. Just try it and you will see what I mean.

Pull up the slide lock using the tab on the top then pull the plug off.

Make sure to disable the SBC! Doing some maintenance around the car just recently, I noticed the SBC pump started cycling because something in my pocket hit the keys.

The electrical connection for the SBC looks like it was engineered to easily remove and lock back down. One of the more elegant designs for something like this, actually.

Maybe auto spelling

Front rotor: $260 Zimmerman rotors
Front pads: $200 non-MB Textar pads and sensors
Read pads: $200 non-MB Textar pads and sensors
Included tax and a $30 Hertz rental car.

I am reporting back on my rear brake job completed this morning. SBC was successfully unplugged with no issues whatsoever. Actually job was a lot simpler than I dreaded. I truly wanna say THANK YOU to all those who contributed to this thread and helped keep me far away from the Stealer.
