I want to heatshrink my power cables, but can't figure out how to get this blasted copnnector off. Short of using a molex removal tool, does anyone know of a good tutorial, or a method that would work. I've read of people using a needle-like tool, but have no idea how they actually did it.
BTW, they don't usually sell those pin removers at RadioShack do they?
IMO just get the Molex tool. I have used pins and needles and and exacto blade to remove them in a pinch but the tool is easier.
What holds the pins in is a little tab on the pin that locks the pin into the connector when it is pushed in far enough. to remove the pin you need something that will press the locking tab down far enough so you can slide the pin out.
Cool, I just figured it out, thanks! I'm using a tiny type screwdriver. Iam so impatient so I think I'll just do it the hard way, got a 3 day weekend coming up anyway!
LOL, I'm DONE!!!! It was a little tedious, but very worthwile. I'm trying to get mine to look as clean as yours idigguns. Your comp looks awesome. I heatshrinked all the power cables and all of my fan wires, looks SOOO much better. It worked out well w/ the tubing colors as red blue and yellow are the standard colors and that's my color scheme.
