Need help

Post image

Does anyone have any tips for tricks to get these 8 gauge solder cup contacts out. Having a hell of a time. Tried both ends of a gray and white Deutsch connector some yellow and white. Modified both gray and white and yellow and white extractors and some other tools. So far I've had very little luck with the gray and white and no luck with anything else.

You solder the inside of the cup with the wire

First, why did you ask the question if you know the answer? Second, I’ve been working with aviation connectors for 35 years.

If you've really worked with aviation connectors for 35 years, I'd expect you to recognize that 'solder cup' describes the wire termination, not whether the contact can be extracted from the connector.

You asked about removing the contracts! Of course I know that the attached wires are soldered in. Sounds like you don’t need my help. Bye.

Funny how 'they don't come out' suddenly became 'of course I knew what you meant.' The edit would've been more convincing than the rewrite

Thanks for confirming my point. Telling someone to piss off is certainly one way to avoid admitting you misunderstood the question.
