You can use a small screw driver or a piece of welding wire to press back the tab.  Replacing the terminal and do a correct crimp is another story. To crimp these you need a special tool. I have tried a few standard tools but the small tabs just seems to "thick" to be easily crimped. The female connector is ok, but the male terminal is a pain.


yea..I have purchased the correct crimping tool for these T56 terminals....it's what I use to build my upgraded relay set harness's for the 66-67 Chargers

Your not kidding, it's a pain without the right crimper.  I went through four terminals before getting a good crimp on one.  I looks like the terminal was never crimped well.  I'm just lucky it came out when battling the connector, otherwise I never would have found it.  I cleaned up all the terminals, put some dialectic grease on them and went for a drive in 90 degree weather.  After about a 45 minute drive in traffic there was no hiccups at all!  So far so good.  Thanks for all the help guys :2thumbs:
