Bulkhead connector
How do you remove the wires from the connector? This is off an old harness. Trying to salvage as a pigtail.

Which side do you attack from, and where is that tool available from? I usually try to use a small screw driver or ice pick.

Red bird, I happen to be working with these twinlock connectors now. Here is a pic. Just bend in the tabs on each side and it will pull out backwards. I just used a slim screwdriver. 👍👍👍

I guess I need that tool to go in from both sides. Where did you get it? I don't want to destroy the plastic connector. In your first picture I was able to use a small flat tipped screwdriver.

I only went in one side at a time and bent it in. Then went in the other side and it worked fine. A nice thin screwdriver.

I will give it another try. One out and seven to go! I used a jewelers screw driver. Thanks for the info.
