De-pinning an electrical connector

[mjeff87]

So I munched up the connector end of the CPS on my Focus while dropping the transmission (CPS itself is fine though).  I cut out 2 connectors with plenty of wires from the junkyard today, thinking I could de-pin one of them and install the connector body on my existing wires.  I really don't want to cut/splice the wires considering it's the CPS and voltage is kinda sensitive.  I got the connector body off but can't figure out how to get the wires out....anyone have a tip/trick to this?  It's a 2-wire Ford weatherpak connector.  Maybe it's not even possible?

Pull the white center out, after that you should be able to see the lock

Thanks.   I'll give that a shot

Got it jog...thanks!  Glad I pulled 2 of the connectors out of the junkyard, I learned myself (and broke) the first one.  Once I figured the mechanics out, I was able to unpinned the second one, pull the wires out of my broken one, and put it all back together.

Glad to hear you got it
