Terminal removal tools (3 Viewers)

[MOTOV8R]

Can anyone suggest a good set of terminal removal tools? Mostly for Toyota terminals but might be good to have some for other applications. Are the key ring style ones any good or are the screwdriver handle type better?

I used a piece of wire clothes hanger, carefully pounded it flat and filed to the correct width. Worked perfectly.

@Coolerman would know what works well.

@ToyotaMatt suggested these, they worked on ‘63 toyota LC terminals.

A lot of wiper blades have these stainless stiffener strips which I save. When I can’t find neither of the terminal tool sets that I’ve have put away somewhere, I’ve used these. Lot’s of other uses for them also. Don’t throw them away with the old blades.

I bought this set, but found it didn't work very well with the old Toyota terminals.

So I made these using a short piece of silver solder and file handles. One is shaved down to work better in the later style plug that has the plastic retainer vs. the tab on the terminal.

I have some of those wiper inserts as well as a small flat tip screw driver with a messed up tip that I can modify. I think I will try that first. Thanks for the suggestions.

i have a tiny screw driver that does double duty, one for pulling wires from the plugs, and a Philips head for undoing dash knob set screws.
