Default How to Separate Electrical Connection

I want to install a Blackwing and the first step is disconnect the pictured connection. I pulled on but not too hard out of fear of breaking it. I assume there is a trick to it. Any pointers?

Push in on the white tab in the middle and Pull on the connector. You may have to pry out gently on the black part If the white tab hits it on the way out. You also may
Have to start by pushing the connector inward like you are reconnecting it. This may make it easier to press in on the white tab. If this does not work do not force it.

Thanks. That did it. Once the center white tab was pushed in a security locking tab slide out. Then a easy disconnect.
