on a yb cos engine...?

do you mean the actual connector - or the TPS itself,

quickest and easist way is to remove the rubber inlet pipe , then with a 1/4" drive socket set remove the throttle bosy with TOS attached (4 8mm bolts IIRC) you can then get to remove the wires and TPS very easilly, whole job takes about 10 mins

i'm guessing he means the actual connectors (of which there are 3) in the housing to swap the wires over between PF01 and PF09

you can get special tools for that, but basically you just need a small flatbladed watchmakers screwdriver to push down the hole to release the tab
