Thanks for this video! Those connector specialties are underestimated.

I was really struggling on some old MoPar headlight connectors (H4). What I found that finally worked is to jam the smallest flat tip screwdriver you have (like a jewelers) and move it up and down and you slide it in smashing the connector into itself. This is the ONLY way I could get mine out as the metal they used was extremely stiff. Then I used needle nose pliers to grab the metal part of the connector and wriggle it out. This did require a lot of force and was not easy! Newer connectors are much easier to remove.

Helpful thank you, but RIP headphone users for that intro.

[@matthewdrummer7091]

and nobody shows how to get the dill blox out of the holder. Be bold and try it

[@greatguy4076]

*sigh* The PROPER way to remove terminals is to use the tool that is MADE for removing the connectors. Either that, or fabricate a tool. I'm tired of videos showing the "correct" way to do something, and then..... a screwdriver. Come on people, screwdrivers are for driving screws. But you knew that, right? Because of the two words that combine to make the word screwdriver?? You probably also use a hammer and socket to install bearings, don't ya.

Sorry that you didn't find this video useful.

[@gizzyguzzi]

Yes. Large sockets work well for driving bearing races.
