Not sure which are redundant or why you'd want to,
but I've removed pins from other connectors before.
The trick is to disengage the little barb that keeps the
pin in the casing. A long needle or strip of sheet metal
makes a good "key", slide it in on the side (or sides)
that are barbed from the connector face side and pull
the wire. This works on connectors that have large
face pin openings. If the opening is well smaller than
the connector body the "barbs" may be obscured and
you'd have to work from the back, with a hook-type
implement. That would appear difficult, here.
If you don't ever need to use them again of course
things can be simpler and more violent....

They seem a little pricey, but this sponsor sells the correct terminal tools.
