[simonsk8r]

Just picked up a Behmor, slightly used, quiet clean inside, loaded with 200g of beans and then thought oh crap how the hell do I drive this thing!!
First time Ive ever thought
Now wheres the instruction manual (

Enjoy it mate! Love my Behmor

I'm not a technician.
But still, manuals are overrated.
The last one I came across had four on the floor, a 1969 Toyota Corona.

Hi all. First post in a while...
I am trying to replace the circuit board in my 1600+ and I can't get the wires that attach to the metal tabs off. There are half a dozen of them with rubber insulation stuff around them. They are the ones I am having difficulty with. The two that don't have the insulation were okay. Thanks for any help.

They have a tiny loveable protrusion that engages into the round hole in the spade for positive engagement. Once you work out which way you need to poke that protrusion outwards (doesn’t take much) they will side off. Perhaps look at the one without insulation (can’t remember if they are the same). From memory you need to move the protrusion in the direction of the flat part of the female connector.

Cheers

Thanks Artman. That confirms what I thought. So I've tried again without luck. I guess I'll keep going.
Thanks

Using a precision flat edge screwdriver (gently) as well as you fingers can help to depress the little button on the spade. It is, however, still a PITA. Done it twice.

[shortblackman]

Oh . I can't be sure they are the same. I am guessi g they are.

I feel like a blind watchmaker...

[shortblackman]

Thanks for the tip Barry!

1 down 5 to go.

Thanks for the tip Barry!

Obviously try to avoid stripping the insulation from the wires.......and take some photos, during and after the 'process'.

[shortblackman]

Thanks gang! All done. Now for a quick brew and hopefully straight forward reassembly

[shortblackman]

Thanks Barry . yes I took some photos and drew a simpleton's diagram as I went.

Worst case you can peel back the black heatshrink and reapply new. Label all the wires, theres a few of them! NOt too bad if you are putting back straight away, otherwise gets trickier as time passes (for me anyway...).

I'm a bit late to see this but yes, the locking spade clips are a pain to get off until you get the technique right.

I find a pair of needle nosed pliers works a treat to depress the locking pin (following along the wire, not 90 degrees to it) and it slides right off.

Something like these work well:

Sometimes, the Angled version can be easier to use if access limitations are difficult...
