Home made depinning tools

bam-bam

I have drawers full of picks and screwdrivers and such, even have some Snap-on depinning tools. None of them suited me for working on these Honda plugs. After trying all kinds of things, I picked up a piece of welding wire. Eureka! It's small enough to do the trick, yet rigid so it doesn't fold up on you.
These are my two favorite versions

I used a set of picks on the regular engine bay connectors (I re-pinned a bunch of unused connectors to make a separate harness for all my mpfi stuff), and like bam a piece of welding wire for the ecu connectors. I'm glad I was doing the swap at my buddies welding shop, I was about to throw a hissy fit not being able to depin at the ecu.
