OK guys -- I just screwed up big time in the order that I used when inserting .093 sockets in a .093 receptacle.

If they were pins I know how to pop them out with a pin extractor but when I tried this before on a socket in a receptacle it just stretched out the socket until it was huge and it never 'let go'. In other words, previous socket extraction = FAIL!

Any ideas as to how get the sockets out in a form where I can re-use them and don't have to waste 30+ min redoing that entire receptacle?

Help! :)
 
Is there a certain technique with the sockets that are different than with the pins?

My last attempt just stretched the socket out and it never popped loose.
 
Never mind -- same technique works, you just have to be less aggressive or you damage the socket.
