There are two sizes of cavity opening.

See the example in the illustration.

The narrow ends are 0.9 mm wide.
The broader ends are 1.6 mm wide.

Press the cable terminal in the cavity forwards as far as it will go. This will free the locking tab from the cavity catch.

Insert the terminal removal tool in the groove over and under the cable terminal. Extract the cable terminal.

Always follow the instructions in section Using terminal removal tools . These instructions give the correct working procedure.
