ECU connector plug - pin removal

[Jonny_b]

One of the pins is damaged on the ecu connector plug - how do I remove the pin from the plug?

Thanks,

Jon

Have a look at this - are the pins individual like these connectors - if so look where the spring slip is on the pin and try shoving a paper clip or a bit of welding wire or something similar up the side of the pin to release it. Push it in from the ecu side of the plug.

You really need a pin extraction tool like the commonly available Durite one. Expensive but less fallible than making the complete housing trash.
