Remove a Pin From a Connector

I want to replace my IAC connector. Is there a cheap way to remove the round pin from the connector (flat pins are ez)? I know they make a pin removal tool (not sure where to get it).

ALMOST any parts store that sells those weather-pack connectors will have the tool. It's a small screwdriver looking thing that is open on the end - you just push it onto the pin, it squeezes the little locking "tangs", and the pin will pop out. Sometimes you gotta push pretty hard and wiggle the tool. It's easy. Tool only costs a couple of $. I got mine at some local no-name parts store when I lived elsewhere, so I imagine most chain stores would have it - NAPA, AZ, pep Boys...

Tool is called a "pin pusher". They come in various sizes. Best to take an example pin with ya to the store and check the fit b4 you buy it. With the correct pusher, it's really easy.
