sleeving a 24 pin power connector

[ObiwanShinobi]

So i need to remove my 24 pin power connector and the only tool I have is the Frozen cpu universal molex remover. Does anyone know of any ways I can remove the 24 pin power connector?

Just yank 'em apart real hard. But don't break anything.

Same way as a 4 pin i would think... Be sure to mark everything. You might also need some fresh metal end bits for the pins on the 24 pin cable -- no doubt some of the 24 will not make it through the process unscathed.

i've known people to use 2 staples and get the pronges(sp) out that way. Or even a paper clip

i have seen the staple method also......your fingers hurt after the job is done though

I can second this

If you seperate 2 sets of 2 staples each, and then bend one of the angles straight, you can stick them in there and all of the pics will work. Just search google for a way to do it.

Otherwise you can jsut try and get the biggest sleeving you have over the 24pin molex. It is a pain but i did it before i knew how to take off the pins =D

well I ran out of sleeving before I got to the 24 pin connector, But I figured out using a sewing needle to just press the prongs down on each side to pop the wire out.
