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.
EDIT: Thanks to all who replied; I’m going to try and splice the wires. Solder should be here tomorrow, so hopefully she’ll be up and running in no time!
Pins are glued, they won’t just come out. There are tools to remove those pins and you can basically make your own, it’s basically a thin flat piece of metal you shove into each channel to move the retaining tab out of the way temporarily

But again the adhesive will mean this won’t work unless you cut/remove it. Also are you sure the only thing that’s changed is the connector? The pinout may have changed, the board you’re connecting to may have changed, etc
