[s-cars] ECU dismantling...

[Robert Myers]

Thdere are thfree stand-offs which need to be separated at the "hinge" end 
of the folded boards.  The center pin has a small plastic insert which 
locks it in place.  Turn the ECU upside doawn so that the metal base is on 
top and then use a needle nosed pliers to pull the center pin of that 
connector.  It has a dark bottom tip visible at the center bottom of the 
post.  Grab it and pull it out.

Now turn the ECU over and use a reasonably soft lever to apply a bit of 
pressure to pop apart the two connectors (one at each end of the 
"hinge".  One part is shaped a bit like the rook of a chess set.

Now go to the connector end.  Find two small catches, one at each 
end.  Insert something in these catches to hold them open.  I use a couple 
of wooden toothpicks to do this but just about anything small will do the 
job.  Leave the toothpicks in place.  Lift and pull on the top board while 
pressing down and in on the top row of connectors.  The top board will pop 
loose ans slide away from the connector.  It is now open.

It takes a lot longer to write it up than it does to do it.
