Default Removing a plug

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.

Don't know that exact connector as there are hundreds of different types.
But it does look like the standard idea - the terminal pushes into the
housing and is locked by a barb on the terminal. A jeweller's screwdriver
or similar flat small blade is needed to release the barb. There are tools
with a variety of 'small flat blades' for the purpose - but are pretty
expensive.

How about the other end of the cable?
