Sleeving my psu

[monk3y]

I am resleeving my Corsair 520 but I have run into a little problem I bought a tool to remove the pins from the atx power connector but it is not working. I know I am doing it right because I tested it on another psu. Any suggestions?

Yes.. those ATX connectors are really a bitch to take out. I had one of those ATX pin removal tools, and it didn't work either.. it just broke after I got about 2 of them out, lol. You'll have the best luck using staples that are bent open.

thank you, this will really help

for some reason none of those things worked, I may just cut off the ends and and just redo the connectors

That's the way I felt.. but once you master the technique, it becomes easy. They're just really hard to get out on your first few tries.

I have been trying for a few days with no luck
