How to Depin an ECU Connector

[@802Garage]

LOL saved my ass. I was fighting with a pin for way too long thinking I must be missing something. Searched for depin Denso ECU connector and luckily your video came up. I thought that pin lock was just a mold mark. Learn something new every day!

Glad you found it useful!

Really appreciate the video. I was getting ready to drill out a male pin which had broken off. Thanks to your instructions I was able to remove the pin without damaging the housing.

I'm agitated with myself that i didn't search for this video sooner. hahaha. you guys are the best.

Great vid. Appreciate it. Had to depin a t-harness for my Lexus so that I could tap into wires and properly heat shrink it. I didn't want to cut the wire. This was perfect!

[@fsarachu]

thanks, you saved my harness from being stripped

[@occamsrazor1285]

A little tip: don't pull on the wire "prematurely". You'll bind the locking tab in place and you won't be able to lift it up. Instead: push the wire in to remove any tension on the tab, the push the depinning tool from the front of the connector and lift the tab, then pull the wire out of the back of the connector. Also not that all 5 of the depinning tools are different. If the tool you're using won't fit, look for one that will.

Thanks for the video. What those male pins called ? I have to add new wires to harness, so I need those male pins. But don't know the name

Thank you for sharing 🙂

I need this to replace both shells on the body side of my engine harness, the captive clips broke.

Can you make a video on how to do the bulkhead harness avcs for the 207/257 swap

[@iwiresubaruwiringsolutions5538]

No video at the moment. We do include step-by-step instructions when you purchase the harness.

[@hekterr6677]

Do you guys have a source for the actual pins themselves or sell pins?

[@brandons.3177]

thank you!

[@amsrilanka6892]

Thanks bro

[@manolitolicup5941]

Do you have any depin tools for nissan?

[@iwiresubaruwiringsolutions5538]

If the ECU connector looks similar it would work on a Nissan as well

[@trojangpete8]

Not as easy as it looks depining the small whole on the ecm. I have the special tool and it still does not loosen the terminal.

[@iwiresubaruwiringsolutions5538]

For sure, we make it look easy with our experience. Make sure the lower lock tab is released though.

[@Arielxx01]

It's impossible

[@iwiresubaruwiringsolutions5538]

With the right tool and patience you can do it :)
