I have had good luck using a very small cotter key ground thin on the business end for clearance.

Dental pics are your friend. Get a cheap set off Amazon.

You might be successful with a very small watch-makers type of screw-driver.

You try to remove it for like 45 minutes, then you just pull hard on the wire, and rip it from the pin, then you go get another connector and pins from the dealer. That is how I do it most of the time. LOL

Eye glasses repair kit, use the tiny screwdriver that comes with it, dental pick or a doubled up paper clip. Once it unclips youll hear it very audibly and it just pushes back in when reassembling. You will need a special crimp tool if you're replacing or rewiring anything in there though. Very tough to do it with regular pliers.

what usually happens to me is that i futz with it for 45 minutes or so, get really frustrated to the point of almost ripping it off, when suddenly, poof, slips right out. then repeat process for the next one.....
