I think I did it partially right. The AF8 removed the ring on the female connector when I tried to remove the connector after crimping. I was able to put it back on with snap ring tires. I sure would like one of those tools!

is that the crimpers that look like a gear wrench but with 4 pins that push in when you squeese??? i bought a military crimpers for the waterproof connectors about a year after i bought my first truck and they are in my tool bot in the back of my M109a3. i have never had a reason to use them, but you are so happy to get yours i must be missing out. this week-end i am going to get them out and get my box of packard ends and make some jumpers. i replaced the whole wiring harness front and back on him so i did not need to splice anything and that fixed all of my headaches, at least my electrical ones. i think i will see if i can find some good sections on my old harness and cut and use that.

They are great tools. I like the idea of the turned down bolt for the spring bands for the female connectors. My AF-8 is my favorite free tool. (Was given to me by a retireing aircraft mechanic!):beer:
