Apple IPhone Headphone Jack Plug

Step 3 Liberate the Plug

Once you've cut open the plastic it peels back pretty easily. The metal bit you need is only connected to a couple strands of copper wire so it was easy enough to just rip out with my fingers. If you're having any trouble getting it out, I would avoid grabbing the metal of the plug with pliers because you'll probably mess it up. If you must, try grabbing the ugly black plastic/solder part on the back end of the plug to pop it out.
