Hey guys,

 

How do you remove the wire connector plugs from the loom without damaging the plastic plug and terminal??

 

Cheers

Slide a jewellers flat blade screw driver in one side and pull out wire and connector. Sounds easier than it is.

Get a good grip and pull like any Electrician can.

I hate them too

Small hook tool and a fine small flat blade and gentle hands. No probs.

I have no problems removing the female connector from its housing, but how do you remove these little bastards??

[hanra]

Pointy nose pliers. Carefully squash the thin edges of the spade section of the terminal inwards. Then they just slip out.

Ahhh. That's why the buggers are split!
Onto it now

Cheers!

Cool man. Just be gentle with them.

Does anyone know where I could buy new connectors as the above pic? The terminals don't fit into the Narva replacements I bought.
I couldn't find the original style anywhere I was looking.

Yep, the headlights. I'm not missing any, I was wanting to replace them with nice new shiny ones

Autosol the old ones.

Good idea Craig. I was wondering what would clean them up.

Cheers.

Found a great tool for this. Picked up a few of the metal bristles of a street sweeper brush. You see them on roads around the place. Cut to a manageable length then file one edge to make it thinner. Works much better than my screwdriver.
