Hi all,
Pics below
I need to get the wire out of a push fit holder to thread the cable out of base (can't go the other way as there's a switch which can't be removed)
Worse case I'll cut the cable but would be good if I can re-use the sockets as I need several.
Cable is stranded so can't just pull
Thought I read somewhere that there's sometimes a hole I can push a nail into to help release the wire???
Any pointers please?
Thanks

Ah ha!! Just worked it out...
For anyone else who wants to know, the holes in the middle (look like screw heads in photo but aren't) are springs which released when I pushed gently in with a blunt nail.
Job done
Thanks if you came here to help out!
