K ENWORTH T680 MIRRORS - SERVICE MANUAL 6.4.2. Removal of wire terminals Note: A special tool is required to remove wires from the connector: Ref. Contact/TPA Removal Tool 776441-1. It can be substituted with a modified screwdriver or other. 1. Insert the removal tool into the extraction slot in the cap assembly - Terminal Position Assurance ( TPA ). 2. Hook the removal tool firmly against the edge of the slot and pull on the TPA until it is completely removed from the housing assembly. Retain the red cap for use with the connector assembly after the contacts are replaced. 3. Insert the tip of the contact/TPA removal tool into the contact cavity and deflect the contact retention finger.
Gently pull the wire until the contact is free from the housing. Repeat this procedure for the remaining contacts to be removed. Rotating the contacts to remove them from the housing without using the extraction tool may damage the housing resulting in reduced contact retention upon subsequent use of the housing.
