Not always necessary, but it helps. I usually try to leave them on the brackets so I know where they went

Are you sure? All the ones I've done you have to take off the bracket to disconnect them

finally got it disconnected...and yes I did have to remove the bracket. That is what the second clip is for. Makes it much easier to get a good grip on the first clip. Thanks for the help guys!

This. Basically, always. Especially connectors that look like OP's.

Might be because half of the ones I deal with on my two cars are halfway broke lol. Joys of old car ownership.

usually a pair of needlenose pliers and some elbowgrease get's them disconnected if they are stubborn. I do agree that taking them off the bracket makes it easier.

yeah some of the clips wont clip in or unclip unless the bracket is unclipped

Here in Ohio, they are often stuck on because the metal bracket is so rusty from years of road salt.

I always lightly tap connectors with a screwdriver to loosen up the dirt and crap inside of them. They usually come apart easier. Kinda like the knife to the edge of a jar that is hard to open.

PB Blaster will often help with that.
