Default HELP! Broke a PCM pushpin connector!

During my LT install I thought I'd be smart and save money (HAHA I KNO RITE! JOKES ON YOU!)

So I started to repin the PCM as I found here https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...p-headers.html

During the 25 to 26 wire swap, this ****** broke on me.
I believe this was the 25 wire I was putting in the 26 port.

Can this be soldered back together?
Is there somewhere I can buy another one of those end connector piece thingys? I don't know **** about wiring, clearly.

Or can I just undo my wiring swap, leave this guy out and buy extensions for the front o2 sensors? Or is that wire for the front o2?

Help!
This is the last thing keeping my car on jack stands!


It broke flush, the piece in my pliers connects to the end of the wire, this is the "female push on to male section" if that makes sense.

Go to a GM dealership and they have the speciial crimpers to re-pin the wire.

BTW - There is also a TSB out there directing to use a new seal on the conector when you reinstall it to make sure water doesn't get in.

Any idea what the title or number of the TSB is? To what years does it apply?

Here's the thread with more information: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...onnectors.html

I don't have the exact TSB and won't have access to mine for another week. I know this did apply to the 4th gen.

BTW - The part numbers for the pins can be found in this catalog: http://delphi.com/pdf/contact/brochu...balCatalog.pdf (look on page 186) If your GM dealer doesn't know the deal, you can look in this booklet to find the appropriate crimper for the terminal: http://www.weber.edu/wsuimages/autom...%20Booklet.pdf (They should have the crimpers in their kit, or you might even find a good deal on one via eBay.)
