Default Removal of terminals from Seal-All connectors

Does anyone have any experience removing and reinstalling terminals/pins from Seal-All connectors?

Is it likely to damage the pins or connectors?

I have these somewhat bulky connectors on the harness for my electronic ignition and I'd like to remove them temporarily to minimize the size of hole I need to cut in my firewall.

TIA

The Terminal Release Tool as seen at http://www.sptpanel.com/Seal-All_Connectors.htm would probably be the way to go. No experience with this specific setup, but lots of practice removing pins on d-subs. With the right tool, it's no problem, without it, not a pretty picture.
