Mk4Gaz Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I've got the same set as Frank, they are really fiddly buggers to do - either that or I'm just not very good at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've seen it done, on videos, with a nano sim ejectors tools with apparent ease to raise the clamp over the pin hook which then allows for the lead withdrawal from the clip. I've used watchmaker flat head screwdrivers myself to remove coil clip leads from their clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I bought these - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Wire-Terminal-Socket-Pin-Removal-Release-pin-Maintenance-Tool-Titanium-Alloy/282388986926?hash=item41bfb1fc2e:g:UCUAAOSwTuJYwQ82 Exactly what I bought, does the job great once you have the knack for them, I've dont it loads of times for my shifter kit.

Style Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Can these tools be used on the ECU harness as well? I've wanted to look into running fly leads off blank ports for switches for maps, TC etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
