How to Remove Stuck Connectors with a Connector Puller
Most methods use a rubber hammer to remove the connectors from the tube.
How to Remove Stuck Connectors
For lightly stuck connectors, this method is okay. However, if they are stuck more firmly, the method doesn't work. Additionally, there's always the risk of damaging the tubes.
The best way to remove the connectors is with the tools from Limics24. The Limics24 tool is affordable and very easy to use. I particularly like the connector puller from Limics24. Unfortunately, it only works for 2nd generation connectors. 1st generation connectors cannot be removed with it, unfortunately.
With this tool, you can not only remove the connectors, but also complete assembly or disassembly of a USM Haller system can be accomplished.
