 Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 8:57 pm Post subject: D-Sub Pin Extraction |
 |
|
I need to reverse the direction of my autopilot roll servo. This involves swapping two wires that go into the servo D-Sub connector.
I have extractred pins from D-Sub connectors before, but I always had a free end of the wire attached to the pin to thread through the groove in the extraction tool.
This may be a stupid question, but how do I get the extraction tool around the wire when I don't have a free end to the wire? This would be easy if I had a free end to thread into the extraction tool groove, but a free end isn't available unless I cut the wire!?
I sure don't want to cut the two wires, swap and then solder working in the belly of my fuselage!
Am I missing something here?
HELP!

If you are using the plastic removal tool, it should have a slit in the
side to wrap around the wire allowing you to push the tool into the back
side of the connector, then a slight tug on the installed wire and the
pin is free.
I have the metal one and it is very easy to use and you do not have to
worry about the plastic breaking as easy, also per another builders
recommendation I got a wiring spoon, it is used for adding and taking
out wires in a bundle, very good tool to have when changing any wire
bundles. I purchased all of the colors of extraction, insertion tools,
and the spoon from Stein and am very happy with how they work.

Ditto to replies - I got one at Radio Shack! Also, check your autopilot software - some allow you to switch directions with the software and you don't have to do a wire change. At least my trio does

The wire goes in the slot.
