    Removing pins from PSU 6-PIN plugs?

    I'm having a really hard time trying to decable my two PSU 6-PIN cables, I haven't got the proper tools, so been using paper clips and anything else really small enough to fit down there. I tired both ends, male and female.

    Prefer to remove the male end if I can since the plug is a lot better. All the really good websites I looked at don't really have anything useful. :s

    Does any of this help:

    I've got the male and female tools (although never used them), but the full tool kit option looks pretty good and comprehensive.

    Re: Removing pins from PSU 6-PIN plugs?

    I have used a small jeweler's screwdriver (and a lot of patience) in the past, but the tools funkstar has linked to will make it much simpler (and minimise the risk if damage to the pins)
