According to the diagrams the spring is beside the wire rather than above or below it, so the pin should go in level with the wire... but the diagrams don't resemble the holder to me. The sheet is linked from their product page so I assume it must be valid somehow but I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Maybe you go in at an angle?

nonreusable

none of the bjbs ive ever seen have anything like rahz's drawing, they have a tiny hole for wire, and the spring action of the connector isnt an arm like that, its more like a round radial fitting with an axial slot that expands to grip the wire, like a female part im fond of

cut wire and splice if you want to reuse

if true on the non re_usable part...i am going to be f'in po'ed....aw well thanks for your quick reply

If they're not re-useable can't you just snip the wires as close to holders as possible? Or not enough slack left for you to put something else in it's place? Not sure what the end goal is? Just trying to help.........

I asked BJB about this and got no response, so I asked CDI and was told they are designed not to release. The rep. quoted BJB saying "there's no real way to release the wire without damaging the contact". I'd read there was a tool that Rahz showed. I wanted to replace the silicone pad with grease and luckily had enough slack in the wires to flip it over with the wires attached. Otherwise, cut the wire and use a new holder. I ordered 10 new holders. I'm using part # 47.319.2033.50

im building a new light and using old diodes...but i got it figured out and they can be re used with a little determination too

i think i got lucky using single strand copper....only two wires acted this way....the other two pulled out fine.....

Cut the wire and leaving some to solder/shrink wrap another wire back to it..... No release is baby back b.......t lol.

simply rotate the solid wire clockwise and counterclockwise gently and you can remove...
and reuse/recycle the holder....
