ATX Power Connector Replacement

[Spartacus]

OK I've found what I needed and I've got to test to make my right angle mods on motherboards. Here's what I'm getting.

1x - 6" extension
3x - black rightangle 24-pin atx mobo connector
1x - black straight 23-pin atx mobo connector

Ive got a test mobo i plan to practice on and see if it works properly
the extension is because based off the layout of the mobo
if i take out the current atx connector to make the power sockets align correctly I have to invert the pin layout. From the diagram basically the whole thing has to be rotated 180 degrees (24 in the bottom left 13 bottom right, 1 top right 12 top left)

sooo, I've never done any sleeving or PSU modding or anything.
Do I need any special tools to take the atx cables and pins off the connectors?

No Love? or is the question so dumb I should just try it myself?

There are tools available but you should be available by twisting a staple, or stuff like that.

I don't think the question is dumb. I have never did anything like that so I would have no ideal what to do.

staple works good... or you can buy a tool up to you.
I have this one, works good, it took me a while to get it to work but after I got the hang of it works every time.

We'll I meant is it so easy to do the question is almost too obvious (that kind of dumb)

I like the tool, I need to get one when i do individual sleeving anyhow. But, I think ill wait and try the staple method first <3 free.

Wow that **** was a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be the staples + pliers were a piece of cake to pop out the pins. I don't like the way the sleeving looks so I just used a plastic fusion spray paint. My case theme I'm aiming for is black on black with a blackground .

I was too lazy to pull the pins on the other end of the extension so only 90% of it is black, I figured I'd hide that on the backside of the case anyway. The spray can say matte black, looks more glossy black, eh whatever its black that' what I wanted.

The paint looks cool.
