Wire connector on steering column

[Richie]

Hi everybody:

We're having a problem..my brother and I getting the wires out of this connector. Is there a tool I could buy or a straw I could stick in there? It's kind of hard to see witch way that tang goes??

There is a tool Lisle makes I think, it is a hex with six different removal tools built in, never failed me yet.

I put the wrong one up and I have two of those tools...but maybe he has it off by now because I took those over to his place last night..This is the one that's giving him all the trouble

Sometimes you have to work it in from the back side.

I'll go over and see what's up...As soon as I got these parts he was ...BRING M OVER!!! lol

 

[Richie]

Success !! Got them all out fine.

They can be a bugger. That little dog ear that keeps the connecter in place sometimes doesn't want to back off. I use a dental tool. I can get in push the keeper down and pull connecter out.

He was saying once he got one and figured it out ...they all came much easier.
