The green wire from HELL

Ok replacing this wire really took quite a bit of time and effort. There are no new connectors available so I had to reuse the old one. I clipped the old wires flush with the connector on both sides, then carefully clamped it in the drill press vise, and using a center drill I was able to drill out the old shielded wire from the back. The wire is molded into the connector and will not just pull out. I took my time to prep the new wire and test the new crimp tool with the correct factory crimp terminal I sourced from BelMetric.

The crimp tool I got from Amazon.
IWISS SN-28B DUPONT Terminal Ratchet Crimper 2.54mm 3.96mm (AWG28-18) 0.1-1.0MM˛ - - Amazon.com
It makes the correct factory crimp, as can be seen. I was very pleased with the result.
