2. Disconnect the connector from the component.




3. Remove the dress cover by using a flat-blade tool to release the connector locking tabs and pulling off the dress cover.




4. Relieve the tension on the nose piece retainers by inserting J 38125-12A (12094429) into the single retainer slot on the end of the nose piece and gently prying out the locking tab. Repeat the process for both of the nose piece locking tabs on the opposite side of the nose piece.




5. Once the nose piece retainers are relaxed, use the J 38125-552 (15313892) to pull up the nose piece by hooking the tool under the nose piece and pulling up. The nose piece should raise slightly.




6. On the opposite side of the nose piece, use the J 38125-552 (15313892) to pull up the nose piece by hooking the tool under the nose piece and pulling up. The nose piece should release completely. If the nose piece does not come off, repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
