What screwdriver do I need?

[Little_Grizzly]

I need to remove this bolt:

 

[Junkyard]

While I can’t identify exact size that’s a tamper proof 5 star torx or sometimes called pentalobe, TS40 maybe?

 

[Nige]

TorX security bit.?
Just have to determine the size. I think TS40 might be a bit on the big side.

How about this set on Amazon.?

 

[Simon C]

I believe it is a 5 point Tamper proof. That is what I see. I have some for fuel injection pumps of various sizes. Got mine from Snap On, pretty pricey but do the job.

Just pry the center pin broken and use a torx bit. Next time it would be esier

Unless it's in an awkward spot for access, you don't actually need to disconnect the plug to unpin it. Using the correct tool you can remove the wires in-situ.

That was going to be my next question!!! Do you have a part number for that bad boy?

Never mind. It's a Deutsch 0411-336-1605 removal tool. I just ordered a whole darn kit of pins, connectors, crimper, and extractor. Man I love this Heavy Equipment Forum. You people are great.

The one time over priced snap on is the place to go.
Or maybe amazon? Count the points its not a normal torx.

Don't forget to order something to deal with the rodents that did all that damage.

They sell them at home Depot, if you were in a hurry but Amazon would be my go to, we use them on playground bolts. Never off the snap on truck lol

You should buy a few extractors. They're kind of fragile and need a bit of practice. You'll probably break a couple as you get used to how they work.

The way electronics has infiltrated everything and how wonderful it ages.

One of these is about the tool they deserve.

I agree with you.

The five point star bit is a pentalobe or is also lazily referred to as a 5-point torx. Either way they suck and true pentalobe security bits are best purchased online through Amazon or such. I've looked at Home Depot, Lowes, Northern, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, etc. and have never seen them in stock. Maybe your stores are different but I had to order mine online. Like @Simon C, I have a couple sets of these because Stanadyne uses them on their DB2 pumps in the military. I just remove those screws and replace with standard allen-head cap screws.

There are a few videos on YouTube that give tips on how best to use them. I agree with Cmark, there is a skill to using those extractors successfully.

 

[Little_Grizzly]

Well that didn’t work. I think either I have the wrong extractor tool or the fact that the connector is still mated is making it hard to extract the pin.

Is the brain trust here sure the #16 contact extractor is correct in this case? The connector is labeled as a DRB12-102P-L018.

I practiced on another harness and I got pretty fast at extracting contacts. That harness had connectors that were DT series.

I never had much luck extracting terminals from connectors without the connector being unplugged first.

What exactly is the problem? There are a few different sizes of extractor but the light blue one is usually fairly universal with a bit of perseverance.

What exactly is the problem?

See the photo attached to the OP. As I understand it he has some rodent-damaged wires right next to the connector and wants to unpin them for repair. See also this thread - https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/d4k2-schematics.124251/
