MLPS connector pins...how do you remove them?

Hi, am changing the neutral safety switch, or mlps..? and got the replacement kit that requires the re-pinning. I looked at lots of threads here and it is REALLY confusing. To start how does one remove the pins from the old connectors? I have to do this from under the truck right?? and then how do you know which diagram to use to reconnect the pins to the new connector?
Cheers and thanks for the help.

Great info with pics from another forum here: 1994 Bronco E4OD MLPS Replacement - Ford Bronco Forum

It should be a pin-for-pin swap. I have read a few threads where the 1994 MY trucks were slightly different, but not confirmed.

The link to the thread above is the info I used, and best I could find. If you have a 4WD you can remove the 4WD shift boot and surround to access the MLPS harness without removing seat, carpet, inspection cover, etc. You can pull it just far enough into the cab to manage.
I made a drawing of the wire pattern, and which color wires went where. I then cut the old plug in half (down middle long ways) with a hack saw and removed all pins. I had to more or less press them into the new plug with a jewelers screw driver. I could not get them seated all the way pushing them in by other means. I used a dab of SIL Glide to get the pins through the new rubber gasket.
It's not a highly complicated job, but it wouldn't be hard to make a mistake either.
