Hello bob3,

I checked on DigiKey’s website, and the manufacture’s website, and I did not find a recommended extraction tool. However, they should not be too difficult to remove. On the side of the connector, there are rectangle opening, where the tab locks the contact into the housing. If you take a small jeweler’s screwdriver, or even a paperclip, and press the tab down, that should release the catch. If you are going to replace the contacts, pushing the tab in farther, should bend it enough to stay depressed, and you should be able to pull on the wire, to remove the contacts. Or use the paperclip to help push the pin out from where it usually mates to the other connector.
