I ended up bying the special tool to release the wires from the connector
blocks (from Bus Boys), I have used little screw drivers in the past but
that little tool works a whole lot better, and worth $3 in saved
frustration and possible damage to conectors.  I then greased the tiny
holes in the new rubber gromet/dust caps (from Bus Depot) with dielectric
grease and gently pushed the the wire with the female connector still
attached through the holes, worked alot better than I thought it would
given the small size of the hole.  Very inexpensive project but help keep
those electical conections protected from the elements.
