Fuse/Relay box Terminal extraction??
Is there a technique for 'R & R'ing the ends of the wires going into terminal blocks A to P? Or from the biguns therein specifically... Part of my gasser to diesel conversion...

That is why if you listen, you will learn:

Most of the wire terminals are held in place
with a small tab. It's a little difficult to
explain, but if you look closely at the end
of the housing you can see it.
You can push down on the tab with a very
thin screwdriver to release the terminal
If you go to www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk
and check the "terminals for moldings", you'll
see what I mean.

from http://www.terminaltools.com/Or
from http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/lis56500.htmlSome NAPA outlets have the individual tool types from the first link.
So are you turning an avant into a diesel? I'd love to have a diesel four-motion wagon.

I've read that sometimes those tools don't work too well, and IME a small screw driver isn't springy enough and can break the plastic tines. Or maybe I'm just a DIY fanatic....

Here's my sol'n. Tried watchmaker's screwdrivers; but not able to do the small terminals.

Thanks Kneale for inspiring me...
On another, almost related subject... look at this for German technology/art:
Early printed circuit without the board??
