Description
7-Pin CAN Socket & Pin Removal Tool (Small CAN Pins Only)
This extraction tool is designed specifically for removing the small CAN pins and sockets used in modern Bobcat 7-pin Trident-style CAN connectors. If you’ve damaged a connector on your attachment or loader and need to safely release the terminals, this tool is made for that task.
It is not compatible with 14-pin connectors and will not work on larger pin styles. This tool is intended for short-term or occasional use and is ideal for a handful of removals during repairs. If you require a long-life, professional-grade extraction tool, permanent versions are available separately.
