Hit the wrong reply button before, but we were able to get it removed
by unscrewing the top latch and removing that first at an angle. Then
the connector was able to be pulled straight out. Plastic was very
thin on the pull tab and it snapped without much resistance.
Thank you,

Joe’s response is spot on. I would also suggest you look at the
“latching finger” mechanism on a spare, then apply some of the
techniques Joe suggests.
