The bigger question is why are you wanting to do this?
The bit I circled below is a clip. Push it in ( toward the outside of the connector), use needle nose to push the pin down and through. These come out easy.

Only choice is from an identical donor connector.I'm wondering where you'd get a replacement pin, since that's a connector that's supposed to be soldered to a board.

It's a pin that is used for ground cableSo your edge card connector is failing for some reason. Understanding why your arcade is failing can help you keep your arcade machine running longer.
Mechincal failure of pins. Did you know that pins have a lifespan? The pins are rated for so many make or break connection. Pins do wear out.
Resistance between mating pins will shorten the life of a pin. Resistance will generate heat. So basically your annealing the pins( softening the metal pins) with heating and cooling cycles. Without the springingness in the pins, Pins do not make good contact. Pins that are use for power are more likely to experince this kind of wear and tear.
Pins who resistance is high enough will start to burn. While it is obvious that we replace the pin or the connector, it is good to ask the simple question of why.
It a good time to check out the power rail capacitors on the pcb. As these caps fail thier internal resistance goes up and your pcb board starts drawing more current.
An uncommon failure is the edge card housing never had this issue with raster games but with one color vector game and one black n white vector game. They were both got new pins and yet the edge connector would slide off with very little resistance. Replacing the housing and the edge connector snapped in as it should.
Good luck sorry about the long post..
Have you cleaned the edge of the pcb? I use a pink eraser to remove oxidation off the pcb board..It's a pin that is used for ground cable
it's not connected to a pcb. I made an adapter to connect to pi2jamma.Have you cleaned the edge of the pcb? I use a pink eraser to remove oxidation off the pcb board..
not for that type i haven't seen them as the whole connector is very low priced so people just replace the whole thing or go with a crimp pin type so you can service it in the future.
