For the Molex connector I believe you need a .062" Molex pin extractor, but
the connectors and pins are dirt cheap from Yaesu.  You might just want to
put a new connector on the new cable.

I have no idea about the connector at the rotator end.  Are the pins even
removable?  Again, you might just want to buy a new connector.

I need to replace my Yaesu Rotator Control Cable, which means that I have
to remove the connectors on both ends and put those connectors on
a new cable.  Anyone have some helpful hints or tips for removing
the pins from both connectors?  I've use pin extraction tools in the
past for similar connectors.  Will those tools work with these pins?
