Help with sleeving
Can anyone tell me how to remove the pins from 3 pin fans? Preferably without having to buy a new tool.
Thank you.

Why would you want to do that? Replacing with a molex connector?

I stagger cut mine and then put my sleeving on and then soldered them back together and used heatshrink and you couldn't tell it didn't come factory that way.

TB, It's dead easy, on the 3pin block there is the side with the side rails and on the other side holes, just use a thin pointy item (paperclip) to gently push down through the top of the holes- the pin's retaining mechanism is just a "barb" that sticks up and prevents the pin from being extracted- if you push down on the pin "springy-bit" you can then gently pull the pin and wire out! repeat for all three wires (make sure you write down their relative positions-(Blk/Red/Yellow))
Sleeve your wiring and then just re-insert the pins! You can also easily give them a little extra spring -in case you happened to use too much "oomph" extracting them. once you have them out- you'll see what I mean. Sorted GL Cheers

Is 1/8" sleeving what I need for 3 pin fans?
