Where is a good place to buy tools for dismantling these little buggers?
I know they exist but there are so many I don't know the specifics I need.
Which tools do I need? The 3rd gen connectors are my first priority. Would like to be able to back probe for testing purposes and also be able to dismantle and reassemble. Right now I need one for the TPS sensor on the 87 GTA TPI. The connector works but it's all smashed up due to a reckless person named Bob.
If some can carry over and work on my LS1 all the better. Don't anticipate any problems with that anytime soon. It only has 16K on it and I'm the only one who has ever tinkered with it.

I know Year One sells them. NAPA or any of my local parts joints don't though.
Nothing at year one is reasonably priced. Think it was an electronics place like Active Electronics that I saw a set in a flyer on sale for like 25 bucks. Was a few months ago when I thought I didn't need em. Can't remember now.

YearOne has it. Part# WP29, $10.30. Thats cheap.

Put exchange, shipping and entry-prep fees on it and it's not so cheap anymore, for what it is. :P

Oh by the way, you can make your own with some pieces of dowel and thin-walled brass tubing from a hobby store.
I was thinking I could fab up some of them if I had a good look at the tool.

It's just a piece of tubing in a handle that slips into the body of the connector between it and the pin to release the locking tangs on the pin.
Gonna have a look at one and try to make it.
I made a tool to remove cable filters and get into the boxes. Coppied the real thing, well what it does anyway.

Yeah, thats too cheap to even consider fabing them up unless I get bored and feel like making something. I saw a set at Princess auto. Many ends sticking out of a round thing. 2 or 3 wheels full of them. Think it was around $25. Been waiting for it to go on sale.
