Cannot remove 24/6/8 pins from connections

Rik1254 · 26 Dec 2011 at 19:30

As title....using everything at my disposal from tweezers to the tools that I bought for cable modding and the stupid pins wont budge. Molex and fan connections are fine, just the 24/6/8 connections.

Any tips?

Try this

You think i haven't tried that already? I've watched a good 3 hours of videos and like 9 different guides.

Jiggle it side to side.

Tried that, had the gf holding the wires and tool in place while i twisted and jiggled....still nothing.

You didn't say you checked any guides only that you'd tried various tools at your disposal.

If you only give half the story you can't blame me for pointing you in the direction of some tips on how to do it.

My bad...was epic tired when I wrote that...sorry for any....ummm...sarcasm/ "bitchyness".

Ive just bought a new PSU, so Im not going to be braiding any of the cables unless Corsair give me the thumbs up (technically only opening cables, so not voiding the warranty 'cause the seal isnt damaged....but asked anyway)

I tried every trick in the book all to no avail, eventually bought a Pulse Modding ATX pin remover from the bay and they all came out straight away!

Im using the same tool and it still wont come out
