I fought with a spade connector for over an hour this evening, trying to remove it from the plastic plug. It seems easy to flatten the tang that retains the spade with a small flat head screwdriver and simply pull it out of the the plug. No luck. In desperation I cut a piece of aluminum from a beer can (lucky there were a few handy) to the same width as the spade connector and used that to wedge the tang flat, the spade slipped out like butter! Hope this helps someone else. Leigh Brooks NWDE Seattle |
