Question Right tool

I need to know if this is the right tool for taking the wires out of these connector. Yes I know paper clips and such work but if I can get the right tool I'd rather do it.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Right tool

I've got a set of those and they are pretty handy little fellas to have especially for a guy with fat fingers like me. Can't remember where I got them but glad I did.

Well I ordered the set for $11.00 off amazon so hopefully I will be able to fix these dang mirror plugs. some of the mirrors want work because the two temperature probe wires are not in the right spots.

Re: Right tool

How do you pick what key/tool is the right one for a style connector?

I have no idea other than if it fits inside the switch connector hole it should be right...but that's just me guessing.

Is that the white part in my picture? I have been wondering about it and if it was some kind of locking device. The tools are suppose to be here today. I hope anyway may have update later on tonight if they do.

That's funny, I bought one of the "special Tools" for connectors years ago. I keep forgetting it's in the tool box and use picks or small screw drivers. Works.

Well I have figured out the safety lock on the connectors. Now just waiting on the tools so I can fix the ones that are pined wrong.
I don't understand why they are all different though but the same mirrors just in different cars.

Talking Re: Right tool

Well I got 2 of the 3 connectors done. I can't get the last connector to let go of the wires to move them. I tried everything I know without ripping the connector a part! Oh well I got 2 of them done.
