Media Number -SEHS9065-01 Publication Date -15/12/1995 Date Updated -30/01/2002
Introduction
These tools allow the in-service repair of CE or VE series electrical connectors. Identification of parts
and the procedure for repair of the connectors are described in this instruction.
Do not perform any procedure, outlined in this publication, or order any parts until you read and
understand the information contained within.
(1) 4C-4071 Extraction Tool (gray) for 4-6 gauge contacts. (2) 4C-4072 Extraction Tool (green) for 8-10 gauge contacts. (3)
4C -4073 Extraction Tool (yellow) for 12-14 gauge contacts. (4) 4C-4074 Extraction Tool (black) for 16-18 gauge contacts.

1. Cut tie wrap (1) from the cable and the connector.
2. Cut the braid back on the harness approximately 100 to 125 mm (4 to 5 in) so that back shell (2) can
be moved away from the connector.
3. Use 6V-0006 Connector Pliers (3) to remove back shell (2) from connector (4).
4. Move back shell (2) away from connector (4) to permit removal and installation of a contact.

5. Select the correct extraction tool (5) for the wire size to be removed.
Place the tool under the wire to be removed and lay the wire in the opening along the length of the tool.
Move the tool along the wire (away from the contact) drawing the wire into the tip of the extraction tool.
NOTE: Forcing the wire directly into the tip of the extraction tool could damage or shorten the life of
the tool. With the tool on the wire, start it into the insulator of the connector.

6. Start extraction tool (5) over the back edge of contact (6). This must be done by feel. Slide the tool
completely in to release locking fingers (7).
NOTE: DO NOT turn the extraction tool during release of the locking fingers; this can either destroy
the locking fingers or break the tool.

9. Remove the insulation from the wire, to the correct length shown in the following chart.
NOTE: To Assure proper electrical performance, contacts must be crimped using the correct crimping
tools. DO NOT solder. (Refer to last page for correct contact to use with each wire gauge.)

(2) Wire gauge selector knob (3) Centerline of indentors. (4) Adjustment screw. (5) Locknut in lock position. (6) Locknut in
release position. (7) Contact in position.
2. Raise the wire gauge selector knob (2) and rotate it until the arrow is aligned with the wire size to be
crimped.
3. Lower the wire gauge selector knob (2) and insert the lock clip (1).
4. Loosen locknut (5) and turn adjusting screw (4) in until it stops.

5. Insert the contact and turn adjusting screw (4) counterclockwise until the contact is flush with the
indentor cover. Tighten locknut (5).
6. Insert the wire into the contact (the contact must be centered between indicators or indentors).
7. To crimp the wire in the contact, squeeze the handles of the crimp tool together until the handles hit
the stop.
9. Inspect the contact to ensure that all wire strands are in the crimped barrel.

* The 4C-4075 Hand Crimp Tool Assembly includes all the above items.
2. Insert contact into retainer assembly. Close jaws far enough to hold contact.
NOTE: Make sure retainers engage contact in crimp area. Do not crimp on contact shoulder.
4. Continue the crimping process by compressing the handles until a positive stop is felt. This will
complete the crimp cycle.
5. Release the handles and remove the crimped contact. Inspect the contact to ensure all wire strands are
in the crimped barrel.

3. Push the contact straight into connector grommet until a positive stop is felt. A slight tug will confirm
that it is properly locked in placed.

5. Wrap tape around the area where the braid had been removed, to keep the braid from fraying and to
protect the wire.

7. If the number of wires is such that, when placing the tie wrap around the endbell it will not hold the
wires tight to the endbell, it may be necessary to insert the tie wrap into the center hole of the back shell,
as shown in the above illustrations.
1. If a contact has been moved to a different location in the connector, the opening from which the
contact was removed must be sealed. Place a grommet sealing plug (1) in position. See the chart that
follows for the correct plug part number.
