Electrical connectors - help needed
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

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

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

The blue gaskets are seals for water proofing and the pins are held in with little barbs which on these are a real pain to get out
