Ask Axl: How to De-Pin a Deutsch DT Connector

Deutsch DT connectors are everywhere in automotive wiring — ECUs, sensors, custom looms, engine swaps. And at some point you will need to remove a pin without destroying the connector. This is how you do it correctly. In this episode of Ask Axl I walk through the de-pi #garagebuilt #bmwe82 #toyotav8 nning process for a Deutsch DT connector — removing the wedge lock, releasing the pin retention, extracting the pin clean without damaging the connector body or the wire seal. One question. Straight answer. No fluff. 🔧 WHAT YOU NEED: A Deutsch pin removal tool (or a small flat pick in a pinch — shown in the video). The correct tool costs next to nothing and saves you wrecking a $40 connector trying to do it with a screwdriver. 📺 ASK AXL FULL PLAYLIST: 📺 MAIN BUILD — BMW E82 Toyota V8 Swap: 📸 FOLLOW THE BUILD: Instagram: @axlworks Got a question?
