I ripped a wire (or lead) out of the junction box crimp. I'm not sure how to reopen the crimp so I can reinsert the wire. I tried sticking in a flathead screwdriver and twisting it and some needle nose pliers but it seems to agitate the thin metal that's actually connected to the panel and I'm afraid it'll snap. Any suggested tools or methods to reopen the crimp? If anything I think is a temporary measure I'm going to jam a piece of solid wire in the crimp and then connect it to the lead via levernut.
