Trying to clear engine bay

I guess this is the best place for this?

I'm trying to clear the engine bay in my car for paint. A lot is out, but I can't figure out how to get the harness out. I got this far.



Does this coupler piece actually come apart, because I can't get apart.

On the drivers side, I haven't gotten it out at all.



What do I do?

First pic:
Thats just the point where the ECU harness gets mounted to the body. Unplug the computer and it will pull through, and out from under the fender in the engine bay.

Second:
Thats the "bulkhead" connector, there is a bolt in the middle (very small) that has to be taken out to seperate the 2 halves of that plug.

Thanks, I was not on the path to finding that bolt. I got it off and got the PITA airbag sensor coupler off, now I'm on the passenger side under the dash working on getting the larger piece, or pieces loose from the computer.

Got it. Thanks.
