A small follow up to my post about removing a J1772 nozzle and adapter. I have since figured out how to do this. What I realized is that if I press the trigger to release the J1772 and hold it for a couple of seconds before trying to remove it, then the whole port turns light blue and I can remove the whole nozzle/adapter combo out in one piece (I use both hands to properly support and pull). Then I remove the adapter from the nozzle. Previously I couldnt get it to do this. But I realize I was trying t pull the nozzle out too quickly.That's essentially how I do it. I use a J1772 at home. So, when I approach the car, handles pop out, car unlocks, and the port is dark blue if its finished charging. Then I pull the trigger on the J1772, port turns light blue, then I pull the J1772 nozzle out and then I pull the adapter immediately after. Otheriwse it locks back. I read somewhere people said to can pull the whole J1772 nozzle and adapter combo out, then detach the adapter. BT honestly, I've not gotten that to work yet.
Off topic but I wanted to follow up on that previous side conversation. Carry on.
