Hands down the absolute best videography on this subject. Period.
Best detail with that cut-away too.

[@paulcormican7994]

Great camera work. Well explained simple language, great tutorial.

[@tsbrownie]

@@paulcormican7994 Thank you.

[@johnecker4217]

Thank You soooo much for doing this excellent video showing how easy it is to remove the pins from these Molex connectors. 👍😁

[@basilboris]

Thanks for the video. I've looked everywhere for a straightforward video explaining how to remove those pins. Your video solved it for me. Thanks again :)

[@milamwalters]

Great video! I found this through a google picture search, looking for the exact connector that you used. It was in an icemaker and the 2 wires to a motor corroded over time and came loose. I need to re-strip the wires and put new female connectors on, then reinsert them into the connector. I believe the male side is OK. What is the P/N on the Molex connector? What is the right term for the metal female crimp on the end of the wire that gets inserted into the connector? (Sorry to be such a novice. I had to drill one of the pins out that was hung in the connector. Didn't know this handy tab trick!)

[@celestefleurs]

AMAZING thank you for posting this!!! i'm resleeving cables on a corsair reservoir and this video is perfect for getting in close to see the details :D

[@tsbrownie]

Glad it's useful.

[@immortalsofar5314]

Thanks for this. Sure they're only a few dollars, plus a few dollars more for postage, plus a 2 month wait from China but when you need one and there's an unused one lying around, this is exactly what I needed.

[@tsbrownie]

Very true!

[@77sailordude]

Thank you, I needed this... I have molex connectors on my bow thruster (connecting the thruster to the joystick 🕹️) so I need to remove the plug so I can fit the cable thru the hole up to the fly bridge manoeuvring position..

[@juanlocreille]

Thanks so much, you made my day ☺️

[@endtimesarehere1322]

Thank you for this. Very helpful

[@lauriL90]

But how to remove female sides? Can female internal be replaced in connector? mine broke and wire came out.

[@tsbrownie]

Same way. It also has the little ears on each side.

[@markusnl]

very helpful, thanks for taking the time to show this!

[@tsbrownie]

You are most welcome!

[@johnt6294]

[@476hftt6yth]

thanks

[@tsbrownie]

You're welcome!

[@peanutman6593]

they have simple tools to do this that resemble a hollow tube. Your method would be used in an emergency.

[@John-cb8fp]

Thank you so much!!

[@tsbrownie]

You're welcome!

[@PavloFinn]

Познавательно.спасибо

[@tsbrownie]

"Informative thanks" Добро пожаловать

[@reefgratos2035]

It is alot harder when the wire is broken at the joint and the pin is stuck in there without its wire…

[@tsbrownie]

True. My solution is to use a fine nosed forceps clamped where the wire was.

[@dispositivosdesalomao7874]

thank you

[@tsbrownie]

You are very welcome.

[@graemelaing5551]

So - that's the male pin. What about the female?

[@tsbrownie]

There is no difference in removing them.

[@SammytheBammy1]

I wouldn't reuse those pins once the tabs have been bent back!

[@tsbrownie]

The ones in the video have been moved from plug to plug 3 times over 7 years and are still working today. Yes, you can metal fatigue them, but the good quality ones will stand up.

[@hatteraslabuf]

It must be taking a lot of effort as I hear you grunting from time to time

[@tsbrownie]

Some effort and lots of focus! Plus there's the old guy factor.

[@vvrsvallabh]

Thank you!!

[@tsbrownie]

You're welcome!
