Help!
Does anyone know how to get the wires out of this connector? I've got two terminal tools and can't get them out with either one.

I think on that type of connector the pins come out the FRONT of the connector, not the wire side. Majorly stupid. If you just want to replace the connector shell you have to cut all the pins off the wires and then reattach them somehow.
Look at the pins and find the locking tab. I think a sewing needle might be the right tool for this one. I use a Lisle 14900 for most of my terminals, but sometimes you need to get creative...

It turns out I am not going to have to change any of the wires so I don't have to worry about it. I have both of the Lisle tools and neither one of them or a flattened piece of wire would budge them but I was trying to remove them out the wire side. Thanks for the help.
