How to remove wire connectors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How do you remove the male spade conectors from the bulkhead connection. The ignition wire that come out of the firewall broke off at the bulkhead connector. I pulled the bulkhead apart but I can't get the male spade to come out to fix the wire. Thanks

Look at it very carefully.You can put a very small screwdriver in the connector and slip the spade right out.Awwwww heck

Here's a better link it's about HEI but tells how to replace the resistor wire which is the part you want to read andmember "shifty" even gives a part # for the spade terminal you need.Buy extry so you don't have to go back.

That is the terminal with the little "leg" on it right ? If so, just use a side cutter to snip the leg at the top where it connects to the larger part. It will slip right out. Get a replacemnt terminal from NAPA. After you get it fixed, fill the holes on the back side with some liquid electical tape stuff to keep it sealed up.
