Did this same exact job on an '85 several years ago. Used this tool, easy-peasy:

I posted all the parts showing numbers for new pins and housings. For future reference. Should add it to your mirror thread too. |
Is there a video that demonstrates what this tool is supposed to do?
Or what it is even called? |
same tool for female
is the same size tool
used for both male and female pins? Quote:

When doing mine, I found that the pins wouldnt collapse unless I was pushing the wire from the back before inserting the tool. I used a very small pair of needle nose plyers to make sure it was in as far as it would go. It makes sense if you look at the ears on the connector as they stop on the inner lip
|
In my case Molex and AMP , male and female it is the same tool.
Like Timmy2 and AlKidd said, you need to push the pin from the back before inserting the tool from the front. Sometimes the tangs grab de plastic and when you insert the tool the tangs do not close and you cannot pull the pin. You can use a jewelers screwdriver to push the pins from the back. |
Here, how this tool works.
It is like a syringe, it has a small plunger that pushes the pin when it is fully inserted and the tangs are depressed. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658961374.jpg These tangs are the ones that hold the pin in place. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658961374.jpg The tool partially inserted, note that the tangs are NOT fully depressed, the pin cannot be pulled. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658961374.jpg Tool fully inserted, no tangs visible, you can pull the pin out. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658961374.jpg Here you can see the small plunger pushing the pin out. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1658961374.jpg The Lisle and Amazon tools you are showing do not have the plunger, but should work, you only need to make sure the tangs are fully depressed, that is why you need to push from the back and then insert the tool. The DigiKey tool is similar to mine. |
where can I get it?
Hi

Sorry, I bought it about many years ago and do not remember where.There are no markings on the tool.
Googled it and got this link https://www.licotatools.com/category-INSERTION---EXTRACTION-TOOLS-INSERTION.html This one is similar https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-305183.html https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/te-application-tooling/305183/15640 |
Google lens review of the photo came up with
"Molex Power Connector Pin Remover Computer Wire Extractor Tool for .062" and 0.093" pins" with a couple of different source names like Jameco. com and Philmore.datak. com Quote:

Yes pin poppers go in the front, depress the ears at their hinge and the conductor is pulled free from the back. The best pin poppers are a tube that fits between the pin and the shell, with a plunger in the center. The tube pushes the locking tabs down and the plunger pushes the pin or socket out. Example are shown up thread. |
I had to do 24 pins worth as I was reinstalling the original flag mirrors on my '88 due to a previous owner updating to aero mirrors in period (and not only are the plastic connectors shaped differently, but male vs female electrical connectors are opposite on the flags vs aeros). [facepalm]
I could only get like one or two pins out using these tools while PUSHING and PULLING on the 33 year old wiring harness & pins. I didn't want to have to crank on 22 more pins via the push & pull method... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1659916754.jpg This tool made the job so easy. As you should expect when using the right tool for the job. I had the other 22 pins out in 22 seconds (maybe less). Laughably easy in comparison (and no pin crankage required)... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1659916754.jpg The metal plunger style didn't work for me. The AMP's longer tip was better suited for the job... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1659917643.jpg Here's the AMP tool in action on my 1989... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1659918509.jpg Moments after doing things the right way, I discovered this utter hack job... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1659918545.jpg |
yellow handle tool
worked best? that hack job is exactly what i didn’t want to do! and i won’t |
Amps tool worked the best for him is what I read.

God bless you. "First, do no harm." Anyone that approaches undamaged factory wiring with a pair of cutters should be neautralized on sight. There's always a better / cleaner wiring solution if one takes the time, makes the effort and acquires the correct parts and tools. Quote:
