Its easy to do if you can solder.

Just pop out the pins required one at a time using a paper clip end in the
side of the pin from the ecu connector side while firmly pulling the wire
behind. (Not so hard as to break the wire)
Then solder the wire to the back of the pin and pop it back in.

cheers people,

simon - thats the exact info i was after, least i now know i can pop the actual pins out and solder to the pin itself rather than splicing in to each wire

No problem at all as long as the joint is properly made and soldered
