Mending a broken wing mirror will be a lot easier if I can remove the cable
that passes through the centre of the bit I want to repair. I can only do
this if I can remove the individual wires from this plug. I dare say not
tricky but I'd rather not cock up and end up damaging the connector.

The contacts are crimped on to the cable ends and then pushed
into the back of the shell, where they lock in. Some shells
are designed so the contacts can be unlocked (sometimes
with a special tool). I can't tell from your photos if that's
the case with yours, but it seems unlikely the mirror would
have been designed with that specific requirement in mind.

Do you really need to get it off? If so, the easiest way
may be to cut right through the cable, and then join it up
afterwards.
