  1. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) device and/or the secondary lock.
  2. Disconnect the connector from the component or separate the connectors for in-line connectors.
  3. Remove the terminal position assurance (TPA) device.
  4. Insert the proper pick or removal tool into the front of the connector body.
    IMPORTANT: On connectors with more than one terminal the service loop may not be large enough to remove the terminal and crimp on a new one. If the terminal wire does not have a large enough service loop for removal, cut the wire 5 cm (2 in) behind the connector before removal.
  5. Grasp the wire at the back of the connector body and gently push the terminal (1) out the front of the connector body (3).
