well my solution here was to use a heat gun, while it did work, i lent hand from my missus and whilst getting the last of the pins out, we managed to scorch the board and lift some of the tracks. possibly repairable but i decided i could do without the hassle and bought a pre-built unit.

Jamie,

If the motors are working but in reverse you can tell the AstroEQ of this. I have the same with mine and just to AstroEQ to go Backward on the RA or DEC, which ever is reversed.
