How to remove broken rca jack 

I'm two years late to the party, but this just happened to me yesterday. I was a little nervous about how to proceed. This trick looks so simple. I watched two other videos besides this one and they all recommend the same thing. Thanks!!

Many thanks for this man! It was lovely to hear your little one playing in the background of your really laid back but informative video!

Thanks, Joe! I had no idea they were making those out of plastic. I was hooking up a DVD player with brand new AV cables and the raggedy thing broke off in there! But the nail WORKS.

This really works! I had to use a candle for just two minutes! Top man Joe!

For anyone trying this, I would recommend using a straightened fish hook instead of a nail. The small gauge will minimize any outward pressure and the barb will 100% hook on the first attempt.

a curved awl also is perfect for this, just did this on my parents' tv and it worked like a charm, thanks for the hack!

This works for me! the cable from my dvd player stuck to the TV. i tried the trick and it worked! thank you so much!!

You truly are a lifesaver. I broke my rca in my amp and thought I had to take it somewhere. Thank you so much!

🎉You’re a life saver, was about to take my speaker to a shop where they were gonna charge $160 to replace the rca jack… and take 3-4weeks with their back log of repairs, found the right sized nail and it worked like a charm first try, thank you for the post, I’m sure you’ve saved 1,000s of people time and money with your post, I hope all is well for you, thanks a million, take care ❤

I actually watched your video, looked around the house for a small nail, couldn’t find one but found a really small screw and screwed it in pulling it out very easily,Perfect! Cheers, great video

Saw this video when I broke my rca, told my self I’ll come back when I put my system in my new car. The time came and this technique worked like butter! Wasn’t trying to dismount the amp, and open it.

Thank you sir! Finally after 3yrs I fixed my amp in less than 5min. I used a skinny nail & some needle nose

I almost spent 2000 for a stupid speaker, YOU'RE A LIVE SAVER MY MAN I WISH YOU'RE PARENTS AND YOU LIVE A GREATE LIFE THANK YOU

thank you bro i was so hopeless hahaha then i searched for this . youre a life saver!!!

Yooooo. U are the man! Worked on the first try for me! Thanks a million

Wow. Thanks for the idea dude. In my case it is broken small and deep inside. I heated a safety pin and chucked it in, it melted the plastic around and stuck tight to safety pin and I easily removed it. Before I tried to super glue a stick and pull it it didn't work then I saw your video.

Wow thanks man never thought this would work but it did. I’m sooo stoked wow. Thanks ! I used a sewing needle and a lighter and a pair of tweezers to hold the needle in. Wow. I feel like Einstein

Thanks a million bro, just did this successfully!

Wow! I'll try it tomorrow! Thank you for uploading this video... 🙏

Thank you so much for the info, it did work, you made me happy coz i can connect now my video to speaker

Get this guy a Nobel Prize!!!!

When using a nail it helps if you can put a slight bend on the tip. To hook it once inside the broken piece.

Thank you for your service. It worked 👍👍👍👍

So much kudos to u, just what i needed to know thankyou:)

Dude worked on first try thanks 🙏🏼

Thank you so much man I appreciate it this WORKED‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Sweet I was going to try super glue and a tooth pik . but this method makes sense to me. Keep on thumping.

I used a heated a small screw and after placing screwed the hot screw very little ie less than quarter circle. Waited for few seconds and easily pulled out the broken pin. Thanks
