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

The tang bears on the end wall (ledge) of the cavity. To avoid bending the tang, it is very important if not essential to push the wire and terminal forward in the housing first to separate the tang from bearing on the ledge, and then insert the probe to depress the tang.
