I’m trying to fix my daughter’s electric scooter. The company sent me a brand new motor, out of warranty, however the adapter is wrong (see pic). I’m thinking I’m better off swapping the couplings rather than cutting and splicing, but I don’t want to destroy them - what is the best way to remove the wires? There appears to be some sort of yellow wax/paste holding the wires in.

    That would not ally be the answer, but if you look carefully it seems like the manufacturer also added some sort of glue/solastic to the connector (probably to help mitigate vibrations) so that’s going to be a no go.

    If I were OP, I would buy a connector kit (on Ali if they don’t mind waiting, at a local electronics shop if they have one available, or on the Bezos Fun train if they don’t and can’t wait) and just make a new connector.
