Wiring Harness Repair Kit

[alohaboxster]

Thank you to all that have posted on the topic of replacing the ABS wheel sensors. Your advice and explanations have been invaluable. I'm a new Boxster owner (02 Base) and ready to replace the right & left rear ABS sensor wires with the Wiring Harness Repair Kit from Pelican (986-612-953-01-OEM and *954*) I read some valuable posts that many of you wrote regarding the process. I now hope someone might enlighten further me as a newby: the kit has 5 wires; 3 terminate in barrel connectors and 2 are just wires. The kit also includes 3 crimps and 3 heat shrink tubes. I have located the connectors in my trunk and identified the yellow one as the end point for the wires in the repair kit. Questions: 1. how I should separate the pieces of the yellow connector so that I can access the back to hopefully extract the wires? 2. why the bare wires? I am guessing I need to splice them, but not sure where. maybe that will become evident when I am able to access the rear of the yellow plastic housing/connector. 3. Any advice on pin extraction and wire splicing would be most appreciated as I have done neither in the past! I have tried to upload pictures but can't seem to get it to work. Thanks for any help!
