Need to repair a single contact because of damage in manufacturing, testing, or field use?
1. Choose the proper contact extraction tool.
2. Push the contact out with a firm, steady force. Remember, excessive force is not required.
3. Install a new contact with the proper contact insertion tool. You are done.
