Remove head off PWR SW & RESET SW?

I'm trying to feed these cables through a hole but the head is stopping it. Can I remove the head and reattach it safely?

I personally would not risk it, very fiddly.

Is there no way you can make the hole a little bigger?

That must be one SMALL hole?!?!

Actually, they will all fit through apart from a 4 pin one which is quite wide

My special powers only come out at night!

Sorted it now, piece of cake really. Never done any drilling before but I need to try and route two fat USB headers next. Any special drill bits needed?

Cut the cable in half, feed through and solder back together?

The connectors come off easily with the use of something like a pin. Go back together just as easily.

Yup, look on the back, there's a little bit of plastic you can level up slightly and then pull the contact out.

This would work but it's far quicker to drill a hole and use a grommit.
