Looking to get my old NES working, and wondering how you bend the pins back? Thanks.

I used a piece of paper clip.

Bend it several times until the "curve" of the paper clip breaks / snaps. Try to maybe get it to snap close to a straight part of the clip. They're fairly small, and by breaking it, you get a kind of lip / curve that you can grab the pins with.

I did, and it works great. I just have some old ones sitting around, and I wanted to use them to their fullest.
