headlight motor wire harness

I've pulled the drivers side headlight motor out. I need to remove the old wires from the main loom. The 2 wires from the old motor won't come out. Is there some special trick ? any help would be appreciated

Picture of wiring

Wire loom from the other side

The two wires on the right side of the loom are from the old motor. They need to come out so the two new wires with metal posts can replace the old. They are tiny and I'm afraid I'll break something.

If you mean the plug is stuck in the motor connection. There is a tab to depress in the white plastic terminal protector.

Insert a small flat screw driver in the hole next to the wire end. Get a set of terminal pin removal tools if you plan on
working on wiring connectors.

You can use a pick or a terminal removal tool or maybe a small paper clip. The pick is inserted into the rectangular area on the side of the connectors pin. Once you push it in far enough it will release the locking tab and the pin can be pulled out on the wire side. You can lightly pull on the wire when inserting the tool and when it unlocks the tang the pin will release.
