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) ![]() ![]() |

So 3 out of 8 pins I could not get out with my home made tools. I drilled a 3/16" hole in the top of the FI injector plastic connector. Then I could depress the stop tab down with my tool. You want to drill this just in front of the spot where the tab catches. Then I could press the tab straight down and get the female connector out. One tab was bent 180 degrees back. No tool was going to get that one out.
