I need to take some of the pins out of this connector without damaging them:

I'm thinking that a pin extraction tool for a female molex might work, but I would like to be certain before I order a tool. Here are a couple that look promising:

Molex Extractor for Male Female 0 093" 0 062" Pins | eBay

Molex Type Pin Extractor for 093" Size Pins Plunger Type Pin Remover | eBay

I've read some on line reviews of other products and it appears there are some cheap tools out there that break before they can complete the job.

Any suggestions and recommendations are appreciated.
