Default Ford wiring plugs

Is it possible to re-wire these?

You know the plugs that are moulded around wiring to clip on to say a temperature sender with the little metal spring clips?

Thanks

yes, just get the pins out by sticking a skinny screwdriver into them

as long as the plugs are moulded it's a peice of cake

The above are ok price wise if you only need a few bits, but others care cheaper but may need account etc.
On a lot of the connectors the pins/terminals can be removed just with a very thin screwdriver.

There's two basic multi extractors which do a lot of common pins, reasonably inexpensively, but some others are £100 for a remover for just 1 terminal type.
