        Mouser Electronics has them. Search under "molex extraction tool." :)

        The ones for the 0.093" circular pins (which would fit the WG6100's
connectors) are listed at $18.17 apiece (part # 538-11-03-0006). The
barrel is spring-loaded, so as you push it down over the pin you get some
extra force behind it to shove the pin out of the socket housing.

        You can also get extractor tools for the 0.062" circular housings, and
the .100" and .156" rectangular types, as well.
