Pin extraction tool?
I'm wondering if anyone knows what sizes and where can I get electrical pin extraction/insertion tools so I can R&R some wires going into the back of my fuse/relay box. I'm assuming that they are a metric sized tool also? Does tool size go by the wire size into the pin? (Can ya tell I'm not a electrical kinda guy?)
In the process of chasing down some electrical gremlins,I was under the dash removing the fuse/relay boxes so I could clean up the main grounds there when I noticed that some wires that have been hacked up, and some that have melted themselfs into their plastic connector shrouds. I've already cleaned and greased a bunch of connectors,spliced some wires together and soldered joints using rosin core solder, I have extra connectors from a parts car, but need to find the correct tool for removing and installing these pins.
Hoping to find these tools locally here so I don't have to wait for mail delivery. Car is apart right now. Any Ideas/suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!

Original make is AMP.
If you are on frendly terms with your local VW dealer, you might be able to borrow the one needed. It is the same tool as used as of the late '70s onwards.
