[R-390] PTO Plug

[Jon Schlegel]

DW,

Yes, the blue shell unscrews from the connector.  The first step is 
removing the clamps as you have already done. Carefully hold the 
connecter and unscrew the shell.  It's a standard right hand 
thread.  Be very careful of the pins.  They are exceedingly brittle 
and if become bent will likely break when you try to straighten 
them.  Insert the pins in a stiff piece of foam or perhaps the mating 
connector to protect the pins while you work.  If the shell does not 
unscrew, try tapping the the shell very lightly with a light 
screwdriver handle or such.  TLC is most important when handling 
these connectors.

Regards,
Jon
