Connectors: Is there a tool ?
Hey, i need to remove and install come new clip/connector things in my 84 F150 fuse box (the little metal things with a wire coming into the back and the fuse plugging into the front.) Is there a special tool i can use to get this done? Thanks guys!

I have that tool. I think. You want to remove the wire, and the metal connector, from the plastic "casing"? Then yes, I do have that tool.
It is available from Snap On. I forget how much I paid for it though. It came in a kit with 7 other tools to do the same job on different kinds of connectors.
So, to answer your question, yes there is such a tool.

It's called a pocket screwdriver, this is how I've removed them in the past, you just have to be careful not to smash the connector, or break the plastic.

I have a set of Snap On tools too like bigrigfixer has but usually a small pick or screwdriver will work.

Molex is the name of the company that makes a lot of those type of connectors. Common name for the tool is a Molex tool if you're searching for one. (Kind of like searching for a Cresent wrench when it's really an adjustable wrench.) If you go to http://www.molex.com and enter tool on the sites search, you'll come up with all sorts of odd-ball stuff. If your an exotic tool junky - be careful.
