    I've had good luck using an Xacto knife to push the little tab down and slide the connector out. The tip of the blade digs in just enough to get a good bite without doing any damage to the connector. Just be sure to wear safety glasses in case the tip were to break off. I worked with a guy who lost an eye when a piece of the razor blade he was using as a scraper broke off.
