harley, actually one of the plugs unpopped itself when i was pulling off the stock cooler. I though i had broken the card until i found it actually snaps in/out like a normal plug. So i figured i might as well pull the other one off and it made working with the cards soooooo much easier installing the insulation, doing the mods, and fitting the pot. Afterwards i just snapped them back in and away i went.
