Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Use tool' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use tool' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello everyone, I ripped 2 wires accidentally on my tiptronic during the engine removal process. Anyone know how to remove the pins from the circular plug? I bought the SIR tool to push the pins out so that I can solder the wire back, but it doesn't work (or I am not using it right). Pictures below show the plug and 2 severed wires at the base of the plug (hard to see).
Never seen that one before but have pulled lots of things out like that before. How did you use the tool? I would put a small screw driver or T pin in the empty space nearest the one you need to get out and pry and pull from the back. Can't tell from the plug which goes to which.
I would imagine the pins look like these that have "ears" sticking out to lock them in place. To release you need to find a tube that can slide over the pin perfectly (very tight fit) to compress these ears, then you can pull gently on the wire side to release the pin.

Description said pin is 3.5mm and outside dimension is 5mm. Maybe you can measure your pins and see if those dimensions fit.
Based on my limited experience I think Ashai covered it quite well.
All I can add is unlocking a socket from a connector is tricky even with the right tools. In some cases it helps to insert the tool, the tube, to depress the fingers that lock/secure this in the connector while pushing the socket forward to help release pressure and give some additional clearance to let the tube over the pin depress the fingers sufficiently to then free the socket.
The socket obviously has to resist begin pushed away by the insertion of the pin so the locking fingers of the socket are designed to grip/hold tighter when there is pressure from the end the pin is inserted.
Update: Macster was correct when he said that it can be tricky even with the correct tools...apparently, the SIR tool I purchased did have the correct size (tube A and G). I was just being too delicate by trying not to push too hard on it....so I bought a pigtail on Ebay for an Audi ZF transmission (same as our tiptronics) and experimented on it. Worked like a charm after pressing the tube in hard and yanking on the wire from the back.
