Removing NAV Antenna Connectors

[DanoM]

Anyone familiar with how to remove the 997 NAV Antenna Wires? I want to install a Sirius Antenna under the front cowl and need to remove the NAV connections but cannot figure out how to disconnect them. They did not come off easily (push w half turn, unscrew CCW, pull, etc.) and I didn't want to break anything in my attempt. I've searched the forum and found others who had remove them to locate their Sirius antenna in a similar fashion but there weren’t any explanations of how to remove the leads (clearly others had an easier time). As I said, my concern was breaking the connector or damaging the car finish from the cowl moving about so if there is a trick, please share.

Thanks in advance.

I thought I’d provide an update on this. I’m embarrassed to say that when I revisited this for the actual Sirius antenna installation I saw that the NAV antenna connector had a push to release button on the back side. I guess it was too dark in the garage for me to see that the first time. It explains why no one had detailed its removal in any of the other posts.
