The two antennae wires that are attached to nubs on the internal WiFi card are proving to be a bitch to remove. I remember reading to be gentle with them but not much else. I have grabbed on to these thing with my nails and pulled as hard as i could till my arms were trembling! Gentle my ass! How do they come off? Some trick I don't know about-- twist and pull? dunno. Help. I have a 802.11n waiting to go in  |

Pull straight up. Probably best to use needle-nose pliers, but don't squeeze too hard - the connector can easily bend. Mini 9|2GB RAM|64GB RunCore|Intel 5300|Windows 8 |

I used an eyeglass repair kit screwdriver to pry the antennas off. It provided the necessary leverage that my fingernails could not, and it assured me that I was pulling straight up and not torquing the wire itself. |
