There are Neutrik XLR connectors with pins soldered into the pcb and connectors are mounted on a plate. It is not possible to remove the PCB without disassembling the connectors.
The plastic parts have to be pulled out of the outer metal parts.
How is that possible ??? Any trick ?

In a plastic part there is a hole for a flat screwdriver. You need to turn the lock and the metal housing will come off.
If the connector is from the Neutrik 2 pc D series the following advice might help
(Info from Neutrik's own FAQ list)
The 2 pc D-Series connectors consist of an insert and shell, this allows soldering the insert onto the PCB and locking it into the shell afterwards. In the middle of the insert is a hole with a slot.
Using a ‘00’ size flathead screwdriver (part # SD-1) it is possible to lock/unlock the insert in the housing.
Hehehe Peter beat me to it

hello , my phonostage is humming on my right speaker and i found this little screw fell out of the right XLR female connector (in the phonostage)
the screw was put back but it just turns and turns without any bite - it appears to somehow anchor the XLR connector to the PCB but was wondering if it has an earth function . Is there a threaded sleeve this little screw should insert into that may be lost ? many thanks for any help

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

hello.
annother question:
did you have a look at the soldering points of your connectors (right channel)............perhaps there is a bad one.
