I need to replace the wiring to this board. Does anyone know how to remove the current wires and punch down new ones? Thanks!

What's that board for? Can you get a closer and more clear shot of the connection? Where do the wires go?

The board goes inside a clicker. Basically just a button. The wiring is actually just a telephone cord which connects into a computer

It's hard to tell, but it might use a 110 punch down tool... For reference, 110 is what is used for punching CAT5/6 in RJ45 jacks.

I have one of those but the slots are too narrow

so typically the way to identify the connector is by its pitch, then by pin diameter. That one is likely 0.1", 2mm or maybe something less common. You mention phone connector and looks like a coiled cord in the background so maybe the other end is a RJ9|10|22 handset jack? Typically the jack and wire is far more robust than the cord. Are you sure the clicker is bad and not the cord. Many time people try another cord and it does not work and assume its the device. Many non handset applications require actual wire in cord and lots of cheap handset cords are thin copper foil wound over string. Works fine for the extremely low current the mic and earphone need but not good enough for alternate applications people use handset cords for. If you just need to repunch what looks like a disconnected wire typically an ice pick or thin piece of sheet metal can put a wire back in place. It where you have to do a bunch that you need to find the right tool. Have several for different 0.1" and 0.156" pitch ones here, and you likely can buy on amazon or mouser.

It does appear to be an insulation cutting connector which requires you to just push the wire into it.

I would just pull on the wires to pull them out of the connector and then when you replace them, just use a tiny flatblade screw driver oriented so the blade run along center of the wire and push the wire into the connector.

I am sure there is a tool for it, but with trial and error you should be able to get it to cut the insulation / make contact.

For that type of connection, you need an ID10T tool.

I would try this. If you don't have any luck I'd be willing to do it for you, it's in my line of business so it wouldn't be a problem.
