Remove pins from a Gottlieb double-sided connector
Steps
- Bend both facing pins inward with needle-nose pliers, one side at a time (doing only one tends to bend the other anyway).
- Slide the Molex extractor between the housing and the pin and pull gently on the wire.
- Do the opposite pin, keeping the two wires in the right places, and fit new 08-03-0304 pins.
