Tuned Port Injection Wiring harness removal

I am removing the factory FI TPI wiring harness from my 1987 Trans Am.

The harness to the computer comes through the firewall at the lower right passenger side kick panel. There is a large plastic wiring bulkhead there. I have removed the C clip on top of the plastic harness connector.

How do you release the large plastic through wall connector to allow the removal of the harness back through the engine compartment?

Thanks for your help!

Check the center of the plug for the hex nut on the bolt that holds it together

The engine bay side of the C100 connector is held in place to the cabin side of the connector by one 1/4" bolt.
the 1/4" bolt can be seen near the center of the connector body.
Once the retaining bolt is removed the C100 connector halves will separate.

Re: Tuned Port Injection Wiring harness removal

I didn't have a bolt on my 88 Camaro's connector. I pushed the top half of the connector through first, then slid the grey bottom half through. Afterwards I found there's a wire harness clip that you'll need to take the splash guard out of the wheel well to get to. After that it came right out.
