Cartridge Replacement issues - Turntable

[Ultraviolet]

Hi All

I'm happing a nightmare replacing the coupling cables that connect my cartridge to my tonearm (the four coloured cables shown in the picture). Any recommendations how I can do this? The main problem is releasing the existing cables from the pins on the tonearm - they're too close for my needle-nose pliers, and I'm struggling to pry them off with a screwdriver. Any suggestions on tools required / techniques etc?

Many thanks,

Thanks for the suggestions.. in the end I used some very small (3”) needle-nosed pliers used for jewellery etc. So the new cartridge is now fitted, although one of the leads is quite loose on the cartridge pin. Time to test it tomorrow…
