Use the J 38125-28 tool to release the terminals by inserting the tool into the terminal cavity as shown in the graphic. See the release tool cross reference in the Reference Guide of the J-38125 to ensure that the correct release tool is used.
While holding the removal tool in place, gently pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Always remember never use force when pulling a terminal out of a connector.
