I bought a nice cable sleeving kit for my Enermax PSU which doesn't come with all the cables covered, the 8Pin CPU and 8Pin PCI-E connectors are only covered halfway with the end half looking like noodles in my Silverstone TJ09 case. Question is how do I remove the contact pins from the 8Pin plastic body housing? Thank you guys! :D

Buy a Molex style pin remover. Google it, they are cheap.

I have found the tool for the molex tool remover, but I also need the tool to remove the female pins in the PCI-E connector as well.
