Regular run of the mill terminals? You can just get wiring pliers from Home Depot or something like that.

we clean them solder them than bend over the tabs so they fit -- at times a little belt sand might just do it -- than a small piece of shrink tube if theirs room -- just the way we do it -- jz

FWIW, it will be a PITA to do it twice... john's way is stronger than just crimping.

Yeah, no reason to do it right the first time.

the GM weatherpack connectors and terminals (which is what you have) are designed to only have to be crimped, but for added strength after you crimp them with the tool you can add soldier before you assemble the connector.. The GM weatherpack tool will cost you $45 and works on 20 - 12 gauge wire, it produces the industry standard "f" crimp.
Let me know

TECH TIP -- TV silver solder ( radio shack ) is of a thin Gage silver type it melts at a very low temp and ends up more heat resistant than regular solder - a small china pen type from a dollar store will work just be patient and keep your eyes out from under anything you do -- jz
