Default Power plane alt.

I would like remove the wire out of the connector for the optional indicator light on my AL12-EI60 alternator rather than coiling it up and stashing it.
Any one know the trick to removing the pin from it's socket?
Thanks Ron

Just make a small rectangular pin .090 X .032. Insert it in the slot above the on the terminal side, just above where the electrical pins insert.

Use the wire and move fore and aft until it releases. It will take longer to make the tool than to do it.

I have order a couple of terminals and will report if they fit this connector after evaluation.
