I haven't tried to remove them yet as the whole circuit board including all components have been dipped in some plastic and it covers everything including the isolation tubes on the pins and it holds them in a very hard grip. Touching them they feel like a completely glued down part so I hope that snipping them off at the Nixie bottom and then desoldering them from the board will let me pull them out from the isolation tube and then thread the new pins into the tubes and soldering them back. I want to keep the bottom piece of the Nixie intact too, that piece is fastened with a screw under the Nixie so I can't reach that unless I crush the piece left from the Nixie bottom.
