They are twist locks, I think there are like 2 or 3. And yes, they are in the "clusterfudge" of wires, but you will find them specifically between where the knobs are, which is why I say 2. I can get a pic of the back of a control, if you need it. Just have to make a trip to the shed with a camera. lol

Take them out through the front. Just remove the trim bezel, remove the hvac face and clear panel and then you can easily pull them out with needle nose pliers.

Take them out through the front. I've never changed one by taking it out the back, and I've changed them in both of my 93s, one recently.

You might even be able to do it with finger tips. I know I can do it fast, only tools being needle nose if needed.
