Wiring Harness Repair Tools
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 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.
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.
Insulation (Wire) Stripper
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.
Cable Correctly Gripped in Stripper Blades
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.
