Yes, heat the pin you don't want for a while, then pull it! The plastic will melt when the pin gets hot and you'll be able to remove it easily. That's how i made all my C64 cables, using the generic DIN plugs from Maplin's in the UK.

I would have suggested a soldering iron to remove the pins...
Now, to clean them... hmm... a fine sand paper or a file? Smile
