The crimp DB pins come out of the shell using the removal tool. If you 'stagger' the pins and tape them down so they're not right next to each other they'll fit through a hole better. I thought I drilled a 1/4" hole but it may be a 5/16." I have 24 wires (infinity) that fit through the hole I drilled. You can tie all the 'common' wires together and only run 1 common wire through the hole.

Ok, Linn, I was not only referring to unsoldering but also to “uncrimping”.
What I meant is that, after you ran the fat blue cable inside the stick, and you install the DB connector, you will never be able to pull off the Infinity (or other) grip without cutting the wires…

P.S. – if you would be interested in crossing the big pond and come to Europe, I could use a NASA certified solderer! I hate installing DB connectors inside the fuselage…

There's no way to get the solder-cup connectors through the stick socket without really weakening the socket. Just drill a hole the size you need for the number of wires. I have one stick with the connector on to do testing. I'll have to pull the wires from the connector and feed them through the hole and re-insert them back into the housing .... very carefully!!!!
I'm a NASA certified solderer and have good tools but I HATE solder cup DB connectors. I changed out all my solder cup connectors for crimp-on pins.
I had to pull a lot of wires loose from my DB connectors because I can't see or can't count!!!! 
Using the crimp pins also helps when you want to add a wire to a connector that's buried down in the innards where you can't solder well.
You can get connectors, shells, pins, crimper and removal tool at http://steinair.com/. No, I don't get any discount!!!
If you're replacing solder cups with crimps you can use the shells you have. I used DB connectors for all the low current cabling and Molex for the high current ones. Molex for the same reasons ... removeable and crimp. I have ratcheting crimp tools, one for lugs one for DB pins and one for molex pins. Pricey, but well worth it to make good air-tight connections. You can't go wrong using the proper tools.
