I pinch the connector before jiggling it back and forth. If it doesn’t work, I hold the tabs down with a pair of pliers. Utilize a screwdriver on occasion. Just be very careful and patient; else, you’ll have to replace the wiring connector.
How can I turn off a power outlet?

How is a Halex connector removed?
The inside lock tabs of the knockout can be pressed with a screwdriver to remove them, but since the wire is wedge-shaped and held in place, cutting the wire is usually necessary.
