Remove the receptacle (1):

1. Look into the receptacle. There are two 3 mm (0.11 in) tab windows 12 mm (0.47 in) from the front of the receptacle. The EL-42059  remover pushes the plastic latches from these tab windows and the receptacle can be pulled straight out.
2. Place one side of the "T" portion of the EL-42059  remover into the tab window. The EL-42059  remover will not fit straight into the receptacle. Angle the EL-42059  remover slightly for insertion into the receptacle.
3. Insert the other side of the "T" into the opposite tab window.

   You must move the EL-42059  remover handle toward horizontal to engage the other tab window.

4. Use the EL-42059  remover to pull the receptacle straight out.
