Victor,
There is a special tool that is used to insert and remove those pins.
For reference purposes, consult the Radio Shack Catalog for 2001, page 270,
item number 13, Radio Shack part number 276-1426, D-sub pin insertion and
removal tool, $2.99.
Or ask for the equivalent at most electronics supply stores.
Regards,
Richard.
