Anyone know how to remove this piece from the fuse box?

I didn’t run the wires correctly when put back the lines for power steering aaaaaaand now it’s just a hassle because it’s short. Can someone tell me how to remove this plastic piece that holds that line in? It looks like it should just pull up but maaaaan I put my back into it with my hands and doesn’t wanna come out, tried prying the side away from it but no juice. Do I really just gotta pull it straight up harder?
Thanks

 

Are sure you don’t need to pry out on the bottom of the center piece? I would imagine it has some sort of locking tab.
Never seen a connection that didn’t have a self locking tab/latch.

 

me either

 

Ha I just went through this! I ended up putting a screwdriver in there and prying it forward it worked.

 

I thought that too but fuck it, got a hook under it and just pulled; it fought a good fight

 

So often these clips get old and stubborn and hard a little heat from a heat gun will work wonders on 20 year old plastic parts.

If you really don`t want to have them break.

Cable ties for the win on all those broken plastic parts
