I solder the two wires onto one shrink the connection and then crimp the one wire onto the pin.
If it loops I solder two wires to one shrink and crimp a pin on each one.

Quoted from radium:Thanks everyone. The connectors I'm rebuilding are 19-pin so it's gonna take me a while to pigtail those things, but it seems the proper way. I think there's enough slack wire that I can make it all the same color to the pin. If I do that and keep the lengths correct it should look pretty clean.
Thanks for that link Fanatic. I had the same concerns after reading the pinrepair connector guide. I had no idea there was so much to proper crimping.
Order extra pins and practice your crimps before you do the actual repair.
Look at them and pull on them to make sure they are tight and not bowed.
You will also want to replace the male pins on the board at the same time.
