Default Help repinning round alternator connector

My SC300 alternator connector wires broke right by the plug. I need to repin the round plug, but can't figure out how to release the metal connectors from the plastic housing. I've been probing around with a very small jewler's screwdriver, but can't get them to slide out the back. They look like standard size female blade connectors. I have very little wire left behind the plug, so haven't been able to keep tension on it while I try to probe for the clips.
Any help about just where I need to insert a tool would be appreciated.

spray a little pb blaster or wd40. i've been messing with every connector in my car lately since i've been relocating fusebox. but you need a really thin and long pick to push the tab out. if you cant get it out by the first few tries, you probably broke the prying tab. which means your just gonna have to stab it super hard and hope to break the holding tab.
