I'm replacing all the rubber boots on my FI connectors. I made these tools out of windshield wiper blade metal strips. I got about half the pins out by depressing the stop tab in the slot above the pin. The rest are not budging. I read on a Rennlist board that the the other side of the female pin could be digging in the plastic. I'll try and see if I can verify if the pin slot is smooth all the way through.
Edit: It is smooth all the way through. The plug side is not catching. Any tips? Anyone know where to source replacement connectors? Attached thumbnail(s)

Rock auto has the connectors fairly cheap. I forget how they are listed in the online catalogue. The connectors come apart pretty easy. put the tool you made in from the injector end and push the tab down that sticks up on the back side. There is a small slot in the plastic. If the tool you made is too wide, try a paper clip.

Found it under electrical connector. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/porsche...+connector,2577 If you look at my tool. you will see that I ground down one edge to get the width right for the slot. |
