Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, It's my first posting - I searched the archives but didn't come up with the answer. I recently bought an 01 996TT and quickly found a pair of GT2 sport seats to put into them. The removal of the original seats are pretty straightforward after I figured out how to disconnect the wiring harnesses, but here's my quandary: The GT2 seats came with only the power wires (red and brown) for the seat recline. Their ends are the round pin type. The original seats have a black rectangular connector which houses the power wires and sundry other smaller connectors like the seat belt, which ends in a green connector. I'm trying to reuse this black connector but haven't been able to remove the power pins. I've bought a Molex round pin extractor from Fry's Electronics to extract them, but it hasn't worked. Any hints would be appreciated. Thaniks, John

POST 2Original post

If it is a round pin and you can stick a 3/32" drill bit in the female pin then I have the correct pin extractor - Fry's does not sell it. If you can make to to our work on cars days tomorrow you can use it. Jeff http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1504

POST 3Original post

Sir Tools sells both sizes for about $17 each. They are on the web.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Guys! You're a big help. Now, Fry's does have an extractor which is pretty close - it's a .093" extractor which does the same as the photo here - has a hollow barrel and a movable rod which pushes the pin outward. However, the diameter just isn't big enough to fit over the pins for the seat. John
