I am replacing the engine wiring harness in my 98 boxster and need to move some of the SAI wires from the old to the new. the old harness is North American spec and the new is row. Does anyone know how to remove and replace the pins from for the x59 type connector. I have opened the connector but I cant see how to unlatch the pins.

Welcome to RennTech :welcomeani:

 

Been more than a little while since the last time I worked on one of those connectors, but if memory serves, I used a Sir Tools 9025:

Problem with questions like this is that most shops probably have a half dozen different pin removal kits which you cycle thru to you find the one that works......

do you know how to remove the socket side once you have the connector open? I tried pushing one out and it left behind a metal ring.
