Use a safety pin through the front of the plug to push down the small metal tang that keeps the wire clipped into the plastic housing. Its fairly simply to de-pin a plug so it should be fairly easy.

Cool thanks! That did the trick, but I used a small flathead screw driver...ended up cracking the blue connector!!! It was kinda fragile from where it was burnt!!
