Hi – I am busy with the wiring- Does anybody know how to remove the wires from a plug like the one shown in the picture?
I need to pull out the little blue plugs, I have removed the white clip but am scared to pull too hard as I don’t want to rip the wire out as I would
then be stuck with an unuseable plug. Is there any trick to getting the blue plugs out so I can put new wires in?
Solder new wires onto the old one's... just a thought?
I think they have little barbs preventing removal... may try with a small screwdriver down one of the sides...

As steve says, they should have small barbs that prevent the connections 'falling out', you will need a 'very' small tool makers
screwdriver to flatten the tag, you can then re-use the crimp if you need to then

Thanks guys - will try that tomorrow morning in the workshop
Theyl have a bard on. Its much easier just to solder to the exsisting wires.
If you can carefully remove the connectors with a super small screwdriver blade (or even a bradawl) it is neater to uncrimp the existing wires and solder in the new ones - no unneccessary joints then
Snap On do a couple of tools to remove connectors from multi blocks .
cut decent tails on the wires. Then put some heat shrink tubing over. Twist them to gether like this

Then solder them, put the heatshrink over warm up and job done. Much easier than buggering about removing the pins. Been there done that.
I doubt that the particular block shown has barbs on the terminals. It is usually the 'white thingy' that holds the terminals in place.
However, the blue 'gaskets' (picture 'top' ) between each wire and the block are probably holding the wires fast into the block at
the moment
