with the mating connector's male pin, you must remove and replace
the inner contact:
a. Under magni cation, insert the removal tool into the damaged
contact far enough so that it touches the bottom of the inside of
the inner contact.
b. Turn the tool clockwise to engage the tool coupling thread with
the thread on the inside of the contact (see Figure 2-10).
c. Occasionally the inner contact spins with the tool, preventing the
tool from engaging. If this happens, apply a small amount axial
pressure to the tool and continue to turn it clockwise.
