Just what I needed. Thank you! Gotta love German logic: to pull it off, you need to push it in first.

1:34 The main point of the video should be that what is referred to as the "clip" must be pressed down before pushing and pulling the connector out !! Why does the video not emphasize the clip more? The "clip" is just mentioned in passing as if it has already been explained. The "clip" *is* the locking mechanism referred to at 1:15, but the appearance and position o f the "clip" on the connector was never clearly identified. The clip is what is pushed by the thumb at roughly 1:43 !!
Okay, tyou can sort of guess that fingers are pressing down after seeing more examples. but still the pressing down is not properly explained.
In general: The difficulty people have with connectors is always to know where the locking mechanism is and what one has to do to it to unlock it.

Hi, thanks for watching, and sorry for the late response!
You've probably already solved the problem but here's what I'd do: press the connector inwards and use a small flathead screwdriver to press the broken clip.
It takes some time and fiddling around but it should come off.

What is the clip is broken

[@DespairRepair]

Hi and thanks for watching!
In that case, I would try to prone the clip on the connector with a small flathead screwdriver, raise the clip, push it in, and then try to take it off.
Done that, tricky business and it takes time but it can be done.
