Or you can take an ordinary paper clip, unfold it and hit the end twice with a hammer and you have yourself a custom terminal removal tool. Put a J number on it and you've got yourself a 20 dollar Kent Moore tool.

Re: pin remover tool?
Precision flathead screwdriver is the easiest way. Just depress the tang in the middle while pressing the screwdriver back lightly and out comes the pin.

Also, if you mess one up, Motormite still makes them. Some autoparts stores stock the pins in the electronics/wiring isle.

Reviving an old thread.

Are you guys going in through the center of a female pin to hit the release or on the outside of it?

Tnx Fred in Mesquite
