The wiring harness repair tools comprises of:

A selection of extraction tools
A wire cutter and insulation stripper
Crimpers

Extraction Tools

The extraction tools are used to remove a terminal from an electrical connector. Refer to the Wire Chart and Service Repair Information for the correct extraction tool for each terminal (where applicable). Each extraction tool has been specially designed to extract a particular type of electrical connector terminal. The use of any other tool is not recommended and is liable to cause damage to the electrical connector.

CAUTION: Inspect the electrical connector housing for evidence of damage. The damage may affect the security of a terminal inside the connector housing. The damage may affect the operation of the anti-backout device. The damage may affect the secure installation of the connector housing to the intended component/connector housing. Replace a damaged electrical connector housing.

Insulation (Wire) Stripper

By pressing the outer edges of the wiring harness cable length stop together the adjuster can be slid up or down the jaw. This decreases or increases the length by which the cable insulation will be stripped from the pre-terminated lead or wiring harness cable.

NOTE: Some wiring harness insulation may be harder and require more effort to make a clean strip but exercise care not to damage the wire.

The adjuster has a position indicator to align with a graduated scale and this sets the correct length in millimeters, of insulation to be stripped. The amount of insulation to be stripped is shown in the Electrical Wiring Harness Repair Relationship Table

The following illustration shows the insulation stripper tool and a wiring harness correctly gripped in the jaws. A wire cutter is provided on the outer side of the fixed jaw.

Crimpers

The crimpers have a moving jaw and a stationary jaw, with 3 different sized crimping enclosures. Each of the enclosures are identified by a red, blue or yellow colored dot which corresponds to the 3 colors of the pre-terminated leads and splice connector.
