*** Crush them with a pair of pointy vise-grips?  Of course, I'd try 
desoldering them first.  Hold the heat on a bit longer than seems 
necessary, because you need to melt that solder all the way to the other 
side of the board.  When the hole is nice and clean around the pin,
take your needlenose pliers and wiggle the pin back & forth.  You'll be 
able to tell when it's really free.  The main catastrophe to avoid is
tearing out the plated through hole.

   If you don't have one, it's hard to beat a Soldapullt.  Get a real 
one, not a clone.
