You are better of to replace the whole PCMCIA-port, because bending them will break off easily. I also have that problem.

You can desolder the connector and insert it backwards. Then you need to hack the PCMCIA card to be able to plug it "upside down", too.

For details, read Ken's Wonderful A1200 Towerization Project! (http://www.shreve.net/~kenk/amiga/).

Here is a pic of the hack (http://www.shreve.net/~kenk/amiga/amiga7.jpg).
