In the picture, the box just went slack when I tried to seize the nails with the reciprocating saw, which means that I got it. The purpose of doing that was so that I can pull the outlet, get the wires free and work with them. You need to make sure that the flaps of the tabs are going to fit in the wall and not going to be against the stud. What you have to do is pop up the little tabs and give yourself something to work with. I attached the wires to both tabs. Just like in the picture, you need to drop the new Romex wire and feed it right into the gang boxes that you installed at the bottom and tie it in with the old cables.
What I did was trace my new outlet behind the TV. Once I was done with that, I used my jab saw to cut the hole. I stripped off some pieces of the Romex wire on the top.
When I got both ends out, I spread the wires and fed them through this box like in the picture. Once those are in there, you can already cap them together to connect the electricity. I used the wire connectors to make a new connection when the wires were through, but before I could do that, I needed to use my wire cutters to get extra wires.
I already had plenty of wires here, so I grabbed one section at a time and then stripped off the ends. I used a standard pair of pliers to twist the sections that I got from the Romex wires with the one at the bottom outlet. And then I slipped the cap on and tightened it really well to make sure that the connection is stable between the three wires.
This left me with only one wire to connect to the actual outlet itself. What you need to remember is that black goes on brass. White goes on silver. And your ground goes on green. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test.
