Wiring Connector Disassembly - Help Please (pics)

I've read the most popular articles on the forum, but still can figure this out. Any help would be appreciated

I've pulled the red grommet back...

I've pulled the white piece forward. I've poked picking tools into the small round holes while pulling back on the wires... But nothing... Am I doing this all wrong?

You pull the white part out in the 2nd pic with a pair of small needle nose

Use the shank (not the fluted end but the end that you stick in the chuck) of a small drill bit that just fits into the round hole. push it in straight and firm and you will hear/feel a slight "pop" then with the tool still in the hole pull the wire from the rear. Worked for me every time.

You do not pull it all the way out. It should only pull out about a 1/4 of an inch. I just use a pair of hemostats with serrated jaws.

Take the white pc completely out, use a paper clip the get pins out, there is a small barb on one edge of the pin the has to be depressed to allow it to come out.
