will that work on all of the connectors

U use a dental picck or xacto knife. might take a tad longer but less then it would for me to find the molex tool after loosing it :P

The molex pin remover works well but not on the ATX connector.

I used a bent straight pin to push back the locks... tugging gently on the ATX wires.

Hey SLAY3R that link ya posted (performance-pcs) is a great little mod shop
with a 100% reseller rating. The owner (I think I remember his name being Hank) handles all
orders and e-mail communications himself. A Hard to find personal type of service these days.

Highly recommended for some hard to find items.

Hi;

About the sleeving kits. I had two sets of them sitting on my shelfs for quite a long time. Till I decided to use one. I got so unpatiance that I went for the hard way.

1. I lost the pinout for the atx molex connector 20 pin
2. Labled all the wires with the # on the molex
3. Cut the molex from the pig tail.
4. As you guys know. The hard part came. After setting the sleevs an everything. Soldering the molex back. I spent like 2 hours on a single pig tail.
5. I wanted to keep on going, but I run out of shrinking tubin.


If you want to realy know how it is, just try. If you don't buy the damn tool.


Buy the way. How can I post some pics of my first mod?

I get ferrules from work and use those to push the pins out. There's one for every wire size, so they work on everything. they're only good for a couple of pins, though. One or two pins deform them pretty badly, but they are really cheap (free for me :lol: ).
If you loose track of where the wires go, try hardwarebook.net (http://www.hardwarebook.net/connector/power/atxpower.html)

i used mini screw drivers

took a long time but worked

[RedXray]

Those ATX Connectors are a pain.

It would be ashame to use the plain ol white plug after all the work.

UV & Color Molex plug kits are cheap in price.

I just used a safety pin.

A babys diaper pin would have a better handle.

(tip... grind down the point)

[Migit109]

thanks that will save me money
do you push on a little release thing on the other connectors to release the pin also

[RedXray]

I recommend buying the .093 pin extractor from Radio Shack for $6.99 to remove the power molex's.

The ATX has two locks per wire... so your looking at 40 locks for the ATX.

It takes a little patience.
