It never occurred to me to make mention about tools to extract the
pins. You don't need to buy anything fancy. I use an old pin
extracted from the plastic. I used a golf tee to expand the pin to
the right size. All you do then is push it right down, over the pin
you want to remove, making sure that you compress the tabs, and pull
the cable out, complete with pin.
If the pin you are trying to remove, is expanded you may have to
waggle the extractor a bit.
