the outside of the housing as shown in Figure 3. The Extraction tool has a tip that is inserted into the

window to depress the lance the correct amount for contact removal.

weaken its ability to retain the reinserted contact in the housing.

downward pressure, push the tool toward the back of the window to release the lance.
