i want to pop the wires out of a DECO edge connector and put them in a jamma edge connector. what can i use in place of a true pin extractor? there are a lot of wires and i dont want to damage any of the pins (cuz in dont have any extras).

i would like to get this done tonight or this weekend, i will end up ordering one but time is of the essence.
 
i use a leg from a NTE 36 transistor. works like a charm. i thought a paper clip would work too, after i grind down both sides a tad to make it squareish so it would fit right in.
