Many connectors require a special insertion/extraction tool to remove
the pins. But I've only seen these with crimp-on pins, never with
solder types[1]. Maybe Hirose has a solution. Contact them.

[1] After doing hundreds of DB connectors back when RS-232 was the
mainstay of datacomm, I changed from solder to crimp-on connectors. I
went from what seemed an eternity to solder a connector to just a few
minutes. You might heed that advice from an old firm believer in
solder, crimp-on _is_ a drastic time saver. The good quality tools
aren't cheap but they pay for themselves many times over.
