C1 Stereo Connectors
Hello all, does anyone know what these connectors are? And how do I remove the pins from them? I've already tried searching for ISO pin removal but can't find anything on these specific connectors and I've played around with them as much as I can and still can't remove the pins.

Re: C1 Stereo Connectors
Have you tried using two pairs of long nosed pliers, one closing the contacts together on the socket side while gripping and pulling the wired side with the other? 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

In general, pins like that have a small latch on the pin that needs pushed in from the front of the connector using a specific removal tool. They're not pricey. If you have to bodge, a pin or a VERY thin screwdriver will sometimes manage it.
Have a close look at the enpty positions, and you'll be able to figure out where the latch is.
Generic name for that connector is "iso 8 pin", there are slight variations on the connector shell so they only fit in the right position.
This entirely random eBay listing shows you the connectors and pins, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326186502388
