Yes but that didn't help any, I could do with seeing what the pins look like to work out how they latch in.

Skidlids, I have got to the same point, I have found with a pair of pliers and a bit of positive wiggling (and turning) of the wire they do come out. The pins have a barb which does come out undamaged (don't use excessive force though, I bent one barb back when I was a bit complacent, removed 6 with no problem) I then slightly bent the barbs outwards for a more positive lock and then reinserted and once locked with the yellow slide they were as strong as originally. I have been told by a NHS instrument electrician, there is a tool for folding the barbs, but I cannot see how it can be inserted and on these ecu connectors, the locking plate does the job of locking the barbs.

A good tip for removing pins is to get a plastic or metal tube that will just slide over the pin. Push this over the pin to remove and it will close the tabs in and you can remove it from the other side. A little bit of jiggling on the wire helps too!

I usually use a tool akin to the one below for extracting pins, like the ones found in the circular connectors used on 748s to 998s for connecting the front loom, not to dissimilar to the Amphenol ones on our Turbo Molecular Vac pumps at work

Where can I get one of these tools Skidlids?
