Default De-pinning amp connector

Hi!

I have a tweeter in the rear parcel shelf that is busted. It would be a pain to fix/replace, so in the meantime Im planning to just pull the plug. I have located the correct wires, and was planning to De-pin the connector.

But how does this connector depin? I was able to pull the WHITE section out, but still can not pull the wire. Se attached photos.

Cheers!

I have about 150 or so tools to do this? The problem is which one is needed?
The pins have tabs that need to be compressed releasing the pin from the connector. You got the first step which to remove the pin spacer/alignment piece.
But now to use the correct tool to release the pin. Some are round, some are rectangular, one tab sometimes two?
Look into the plug after removing the spacer to see what needs to be released.

There are so many styles and differences I can't post all of them.
A simple search on "de pinning tools" will bring up hundreds of results.

Yeah. I have looked at the wiring diagram, and the pins are in the blue connector number 13 and 5 I believe. Was hoping somebody knew what de-pin tool to use.

Cheers,

Good luck as I find there are so many variations sometimes I end up cutting and splicing wires BUT I really would like to do it the factory way and replace the wire and pin.

Te type of connector used seems to be an model, where pins/crimps are released by that yellowish part praised out?
Check the markings of the connector itself for the type and then search manufacturer datasheet for detaching pins/crimps.
