In the end I found a source of plastic insert/extractor tools on ebay and after
an enormous amount of time, the packet arrived and I thought it would be
a piece of cake BUT unfortunately that is not the case.
I would appreciate any ideas/words of wisdom how to remove the
pin(socket). As can be seen on the attached photo, I put the yellow wire
into the opening of the white extractor part, slide the extractor fully over
the wire, slowly push the extractor down into the connector and
after centering the wire with a pen cap, the extractor tip opens up a bit more
and slides to the bottom of the pin(socket) - you can see the end of the
extractor has been widened a bit to fit over the pin. I try simultaneously
to push down with extractor and slightly pull the wire then pull extractor
also but always I hear a slight click and feel a ridge and the wire
does not budge - no matter in which direction I turn the extractor, the result
is the same. Is there a way to remove the pin (asks a very annoyed and disturbed person
) ?
