Rob,
If you get a magnifier, and look at the top of the base the pin is clear, when you see a broken one it is blindingly obvious.
It is then a case of unsoldering the wire and pushing it out with a pointed object, the new pin from a spare base just pushes back in.
I have a couple of spare bases I just use for pinching the pins from.
These bases are a beggar for breaking pins.
cheers Mark
