Hi,
Removing a wire from the connector can be a pain, but is not impossible with a decent pick or two.
Each connector has a retaining clasp pushed into it, either a large rectangular panel across the top/broad side of the connector, or a flat wedge pushed into the end of the connector. This locks all the pins in place to prevent accidental removal.
According to the factory service manual, the MT/ECU connector has the wedge retainer pushed into the end.
Remove it using a steel pick to unlock the wire terminals.
Then using a straight pick release the plastic tab holding the wire terminal in position while appplying light pressure pulling rearward to slide the wire out.
I have linked a picture from the factory service manual to help out.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please ask so that I can help you further if necessary.

- Yes, you need to release the locking tab as shown in the diagram I linked.
I know your connector is not exactly the same as that one, as they can not show every single connector in the manual for an example. All the terminals release in the same principle way.
I wish you had requested further information before rating/declining my assistance, I could have pulled a harness and showed you further examples if it were necessary.
I hope you get it squared away regardless, thanks for using Fixya!
