An example of an incorrect working method
The locking tab may be damaged if the terminal removal tool is inserted in the cavity before the cable has been pushed forwards. The cable terminal could then be difficult to extract.
In the illustration, there is not room for the locking tab to be pressed down by the terminal removal tool. The locking tab is pressed down by the tools towards the stop lug. It bends into a shape that will lock it in position.
