    Quoted from mark532011:

    it’s not as easy as you make it sound. Removing the connector from a housing without damaging the housing is tricky, cutting the wire, crimping a new pin receptor and getting it back in solidly is not easy.

    Maybe I'm use too working with older automotive computer connectors but I had no problem pulling apart the three connectors for the bridge board last week without damaging anything using nothing more than an exacto knife. Not that hard to depress the tab, hold it and then and apply pressure to remove. I crimped and soldered a few wires without any problem. Solder is not required but I always believe in going the extra mile on high load pins even though the machine was converted to LED.
