It is possible to remove these with basic garage
tools: all you need
are a small piece of thin sheet aluminum and a moderate precision 5/64"
metal dowel- in short an aluminum soda pop can and a 5/64 drill. Form
I've found the metal from the shutter of a discarded 3.5" floppy disk is
also quite useful for making things like this. It might be too thick for
D-series pins, but it works for Molex pins, etc.
