So you're trying to get some of the pins out of the connector?

Yessir

I was just asking to help clarify the posts for others. I don't think I've de-pinned that specific connector before.

Do you have some new contacts? If so, you should be able to identify the locking tabs on the contact and fabricate a release tool.

Can use a paperclip or stick pin

Finally had nice weather to do the job. If anyone in the future needs to know the connector actually opens up and holds in connections in. I just slid a small flat blade under the top of the plastic connector and pulled up and it opens like a clam. After that just push the pin out. On a side note I don't know the name of these connectors does anyone? I'd like to just get two pins instead of trying to get the wire out.
