If I am able to get one of those hard ones out, I either break or bend one of the notches. I watched Lutro's videos and did what he said, but some just don't want to come out. I even tried to push the tool and the cables to different directions...maybe it's just me.

Some pins are non molex pins and tend to dig into the plastic housing, one of the best ways to remove a pin is to push the wire up and then insert the tool down so you are undigging the wings from the plastic. Once you are sure its pushed as far as you can you need to yank pretty hard on them.

When I worked on seasonics and enermaxes I always had cuts from the edge of the connectors, its just how they are made.

My biggest difficulty is getting the tool properly around the pin. Once you have that, it's just a firm push in, hold, and pull the wire. smile.gif

Did a little before bed...getting a little better at measuring, and heating up just enough to slide it in well. wink.gif Still have lots to learn though...

After that, I had to crash! But I'll be lugging it all into work again, and practicing some more tonight!

Would someone be willing to sleeve my PSU or point me in the direction of where I can have it sleeved? How much would it cost as a rough idea with and without labour?

Should be able to do that just fine as they are grounds, however the more important question before I just say yes, is why are you recrimping them. tongue.gif

because i originally cut them off out of frustration of not being able to sleeve it rolleyes.gif

Just ordered some goodies and soon I should be able to post my first big caliber sleeving - so far I've only done sleeving on the Corsair H100/H80 adapters that I provide.
Now I'm going to make myself a 24-pin and a 6-pin extensions for starters and see how that turns out smile.gif Some mixture of black, blue and white, not yet sure what exactly.

Guys, I need some help...sleeving wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I got frustrated because the pins were really hard to get out and messed up a few things; crushed 1 pin, broke a few notches, accidentally cut one of the finished sleeves trying to get a pin out...

I was taking out 1 pin at a time, but being frustrated and all, I took out 2 of them and don't remember which one goes where (yes I am noob.)

So, can anyone help me?

EDIT: the image was wrong!

If you can tell us which end and which cables they are we can get you a pinout.

This should help you out:

Jump your PSU with a paper clip and use a voltmeter to measure the unknown wire(s).
