Re: Wire Harness Repair

[Robert Mosher <dmosher46@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As I said in a previous post, go to Jensen Tools, Radio Shack, or  
Alpha Wire for a MOLEX type pin removal tool, probably a couple  
dollars.  It has a sliding collar to compress the barbs inside the  
connector and a pin pusher center to remove the pin.  Works for  
either male or female pins.  Try a computer surplus parts place or  
some such other venue for you scroungers.
