sure. this is for the OLDER '99 DME; the newer ones are a little bit different.
1) disconnect the harness from the DME
2) cut the zip tie and open the back of the socket cover
3) use a small screwdriver to remove the weather seal from around the socket
4) remove the phillips screw from the outside of the socket
5) push the far end of the socket down; it will rotate forward & out of the cover
6) pull the socket through the cover

you how have a totally exposed DME connector. the pins are removed / inserted from the back of the plug.
