Trailer hitch removal

Hello,

I am trying to remove my trailer hitch from my 1999 4runner. Problem is that I cant seem to find a way to disconnect the trailer wiring harness and don't want to cut the wires. Any one do this before? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Edogg

I havent dont this, but perhaps you could coil it up and zip tie it to the frame rail.

Yeup... Doink's got the idea...

The last time I was under there, I spent some quality time and am p[retty sure there wasn't a disconnect. Just coil up the wires and zip-tie -em out of the way.

Ok I found the two bolts holding the harness on but the bolts are sunk into the harness body. Any one have any advice on how to remove these bolts? Thanks Edogg
