Default How to re-pin a harness

Long story short, I was trying to plug my o2 sensors back into my car, and a wire popped out of the pin. How can I fix this?

been here, done that

i broke another harness though but it should be the same method. i went ahead and took out the pin (that im assuming is stuck in the harness) , took out my soldering kit, and soldered the pin back to the wire.

it takes a lot of time and patience but it'll work if done right. i also ended up running to radio shack and getting a little of this adhesive stuff (forgot what it was called) because originally ONLY soldering it didnt work.

first you'd get a camera with an auto focus, or a steady hand.

1. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/381-...utm_medium=cse

2. http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...uctId=2103252#
(not the exact pin type you'll need, but you need something similar)

3. small tiny micro flat head.

Use 3, 1 and 2. In that order.

That's what I was thinking. I'll have to try it.

I thought my picture was clear enough to see what I was talking about. but I'll look into that.
