X20 connector male pin

Does anyone know who makes the x20 connector (large white door to body connector that's under a weather boot) or what the part number might be for the two types of male pins it holds?

Or even how to depin this damn thing?

The top 20 pins are different from the bottom 6 on the connector.

Has a good repo of connectors and pins but im having trouble depinning this connector to take a look at the pins to find a corresponding one.

I know a lot of the connectors are Sumitomo.

Thanks!

Quick update. I was able to depin the thing. The yellow pin retainer has to be removed in two "stages". There are 4 tabs that can be lifted up from the "back" side (the side where the wires stick out).
You can lift these up, push the retainer out a bit and it'll catch on the tab and stay up. I worked my way around each corner then pulled on it from the front with a right angle pick. You go around twice, since there are TWO sets of tabs to get through before the retainer pops completely out.

Depinning is then pretty straight forward. Stick something small and sharp to lift up the white tab on top of the pin and then pull on the wire to get it out.




Again, the bottom 6 pins are different from the top 20. The pin below is from the bottom 6.
I've bought a couple pins that I think are similar and will confirm which one fits once they arrive.
The "blade" pin portion is around 8 mm long and 2 mm wide. The total length is around 28mm.

Nice! I've taken one apart but it was a hack and slash job, nowhere near a clean way to do it.

According to my keyless entry write-up, the larger male pins and female sockets are from the Tyco/AMP Multilock 070 series, with part number MLC070-PIN for the male pin and MLC070-SKT for the female socket.

I don't know the part numbers of the smaller pins and sockets.
