Head and Side light wiring removal

[Threehz]

Ok so I've been trying to take off my front fender and I think I've almost got it however one thing I do not have done yet is the head light wire and side flasher light wire. For the head light it looks like I can just take the lamp holder out and the wire will come with it. The side flasher is more complicated though because it does not fit through the opening that it mounts in. This would be easy if these wires disconnected at some point but it's all one fluid wire.

Does anyone know how to get the side flasher out of the fender?

edit: this probably should've gone in body/paint sorry.

On my 75 the side marker lights are held on with 2 screws mounted on the outside and the wires have push on connectors about 4" long which connect into the wiring harness.

Yes mine has two screws as well I have it taken off it just didn't look like it was a plug but I guess I can pull. It'll either rip or work haha

Thanks!

Those plug in connectors have a tendency to be real tough to get apart, on mine several broke off the wire, they are after all over 30 years old, a little "twist and shout" works.
