Electrical Plugs

a400tool · 12-30-2011, 01:40 AM

The wires from the harness to the female plug section that connects to my coil pack have all broken at the end of he plug. Anyone have any ideas how to get the female ends out of the plug so I can solder in new wires?

Thanks

Drill TINY holes and use straightened fish hooks.... Not always doable with plugs which are completely stuck though. You'll probably have to go at it with a dremel and a drill/cut out material until enough has been removed that you can pull the rest out with small wood screws. There are a lot of ways to get this done, they all require patience.

Thanks Cre. Ended up finding a plug off a donor car at my local pick and pull! WOrks 4.0!
