One tip Stan. Don't trim them after you install them, you remove the nicely tapered ends. That's why I specifically mentioned placing it in the holes, pushing down the pins to the correct height, and then soldering it in. After they're soldered in, you remove the carrier, trim the back, and you have the nicely tapered ends to insert into the mating connector.
All my eBay strips come out of the carrier pretty easily. 
A little heat from a heat gun makes it go even easier!
