I just use one of the small pocket screwdrivers to work up under the very end of the connector and get it between the connector and the locking tab in the shell. Then pull on the wire from the back. Takes a little fiddling but it works for me.

The tool is of thin steel, shaped (sort of half moon) to fit around the wire crimped in the power pole connector. It slipped in underneath the wire and connector releasing the retainer spring inside the plastic housing. You could then slide the wire and connector from the housing. You could try a stiff thin piece of steel or brass, if you can insert it, from the rear (wire side), in such a way to release the retainer, the connector will slide from the housing with a gentle tug.

This is the external DC power cable & connector. So, is there an easy way to extract the pin from the housing to reverse these? I've never seen this connector before and it doesn't look friendly to mods. 73, Steve N4SL __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
