A trick with a dental pick for stubborn cannon plug pins
Had a pin that wouldn't seat in a 55-pin connector on a G1000 install, and a gentle wiggle with a curved dental pick while pushing the pin home did the trick without damaging the socket. Anyone have a different method for those stubborn ones?

Sounds like we're all just one stubborn pin away from becoming amateur dentists. Gotta love when the right tool is just a weird thing from another job. At least it's cheaper than buying another special tool you'll use twice.

But those cheap fixes can cause way more damage than buying the right tool once.

Oh nice. That dental pick trick is a lifesaver. Reminds me of trying to get a pin into a cramped avionics bay connector. Ended up using a tiny flathead from an eyeglass repair kit. Just had to be super careful not to slip and scratch the housing. Those little pins can fight you.
