Here is what worked for me... go and buy (if you don't already have somewhere) some diaper pins. The bigger the plastic head on it the better. Now, take the needle end and put a slight bend in the last 1/8th inch of the needle. Slide the end cap and the rubber spacer on the end of the connector that the wires go into a couple inches back up the wires. Insert the diaper/safety pin into the wire end of the plug on top of (as opposed to the center portion) underneath the wire and pull both the needle and the wire out at the same time. Forget trying to stick it into that little hole on the pin side of the plug. That is nothing but aggravation. Using a safety pin works easier and you don't need to buy that stupid friggin' $$$ tool. HTH.

Remove the rubber seal from the rear of the plug (just pull it back a bit). Pry it out with a flat blade screwdriver. pry the plastic wedge out from the front of the connector (usually orange). Then look down into the plug housing and you will see that there is a single spring loaded plastic prong that holds each pin in place. Simply pry the prong back with a small screwdriver and the pin will pull right out from the back.

Also, you can solder a new pin on if needed instead of purchasing the $400 crimp tool.
