    Hello, I wish to remove my wifi card in my laptop, but there are two antenna cables attached to it. How do I remove them? Do I pull them out? Twist them? Or do I need a special tool besides pliers?

    Just pull them straight up from the card. It is unlikely you would be able to damage them.

    Yes just firmly pull at like a 45 degree angle and it should detach easily.

    Thanks for the responses. It helped me get it off. I didn't think it'd be this easy to get them off.

    They snap on/off like the snap buttons on a jacket.
