Terminal Removal Kit

[sqrlgtr 3,660]

IDK how many times I could have used these over the years and finally ordered me a set. Some of the terminals I have worked on I could release and save but a bunch I could not . I hope the days of sticking them precision screwdrivers I had been using in my hands and fingers are over. Surely there sumin in this kit that will cover all the terminals I will ever come across from here on out . These seem well made with a handle that you can hold on to. Will try and replace the 9 pin connectors on my 520’s with new 9 pin connectors instead of replacing with 2 4 wire trailer connectors. Me being a purist ya know.

Neat kit. Never seen them.

I just use a jewelers flat plabe screwdriver to release the Packard Terminals. Works OK.

Be careful. Easy to bend those.

Yes, I have wasted a number of them, hopefully these will have better steel.

I have a handful of timing tensioner "grenade pins" that I custom-filed the ends of for this job.

These seem to be pretty stiff, maybe they will hold up well, only time will tell, I guess. The little "precision screwdrivers" I got from wally world just doesn't do the trick on some of the terminals work well enough when they would fit and just had one prong to release though.

I replace mine with these.

Still the same 9 pin but better sealed.

Never had an issue with these.
