Got my sleeving and heat shrink, having trouble getting the pins out.

I cant do it like i would usually do it, with molex pins (a tiny screwdriver)

How do you guys do it?

Ive seen this, but its so much money for what it does.

I used a straight pin. Really fiddly, but it works.

Try it with staples like this fella has:

It works but I must admit that it takes a lot of patience. I gave up after a few wires! It will help greatly if you can clamp the ATX connector vertically and have plenty of bright light.

Let us know how it goes!
