8 Pin Socket or Pin Removal Tool:

If you have damaged your connector either on your attachment or loader and need to remove the sockets or pins, then this is the tool for you.  Does not work with 7 or 8 pin connectors.  Will work only with the Deutsch 8 Pin Style connectors found on the following manufacturers machines.  This is a short term solution that will last for a few removals only.  Do not expect this tool to last forever. 

Works with Caterpillar 8 Pin, Terex & ASV.

Here is what your connectors should look like. These tools will fit either the male or female.

How does it work?

On the back of the connector, carefully slide the tool over the wire and slide inside the rubber pin or socket and give it a 1/4 turn until you feel it engage.  Carefully tug on the wire from behind the connector until it comes out of the connector.  If it is still stuck, then pull the tool out slightly and turn again as you push it back in.  This is because it does not always grab all of the barbs in the connector.  It does not take any muscle to do this, only technique.  Using muscle will only cause you to damage the connector or the tool.  Be careful.  Take your time.
