e.
Insert tool into contact cavity until tool tip
bottoms against contact shoulder (Figure 14). A slight
increase in resistance will be noticed just before the tool
tip bottoms. This will spread the retention clip and
release its hold on the contact. For smaller diameter
wires, be careful the tool does not collapse around the
wire when inserted and cause the tool tip to hit the
contact crimp barrel instead of sliding over it. A
collapsing tool can also damage grommet sealing
wafers.
f.
Press wire firmly against serrated edge of
removal tool and pull wire straight out from contact
cavity (Figure 15).
