Yup
I just work them out with needle nose pliers and then a small pair of side cutters.

It helps if you twist them a bit. They do have a twist on the through pin.

I don't have the specified punch. I use something like a drill bit to knock it out about 1/8 inch. Then I use a small wire clipper to pry it out enough that I can get a small needle nose pliers under it and then work it out slowly with the pliers.

Just got a AC-4 and the bias line (green wire) is not continuous from PSU to Cinch pin 9.? I never dealt with Cinch plugs before but got the datasheet and see replacement part for the 300 series "drive pin".? Does this just get tapped out with a thin punch?? I don't want to damage the connector and hate to rewire a new one -- just hoping its an easy solder fix once I can figure out how to open it.
