    How do you get a 12 pin military plug apart?

    As the name says, I can't get this little bastard apart for the life of me. Looks like it should push out the front, but it won't move. Tried pouring CRC down the side and in the back to free it up, but to no avail. Anyone know what I'm missing here??? There are no screws, nuts etc holding it together - other connectors like this have just pushed together and apart, so I'm thinking it's just stuck, but I don't know how to unstick it...



    Cheers - Gav

    All sorted, was just stuck - came apart the way I thought. The rubber inner that holds the pins was very stuck. Took a lot of CRC, degreaser and hot water before I could move it.

    Just making up an adaptor so I can tow the caravan with the 101. The inner rubber bit that holds the pins comes out the front with some wiggling from a screwdriver, but this hadn't moved in a long time. It was like it had been glued in last time it was apart. I had to soak it in CRC, then degreaser, then a lot of hot water and the rubber softened up enough to come out.

    Took quite some doing, but got there in the end. Went back in easy.

    Sing out if you have any dramas.
