Out foxed by a couple of cable ties
Do they simply unclip like a reusable cable tie?
Or
Do they detach completely from the plastic fairing without the need to open them up and remove the cables?
If they do detach from the inner fairing which way do I pull?
TIA

Hi stormy , it just pulls out , it takes quite a bit or force I sprayed some WD-40 behind it which helped, mine went back in OK .

@ Clutchspring (Ian)
Thank you, I usually apply too much force and end up breaking plastics etc., this time I thought I’d ask
