this is kinda hard to explain.... if the plug is in your hand, and facing away from you- towards the coil, then take a small flatblade screw driver, and come in on the topside, towards your hand.... there is a tab on the topside that needs to be lifted up over the little nipple that it locks on....push forward on the harness (like your trying to install it) before lifting up on the tab.... this will help release it... i hope this helps. this plastic gets very brittle, so be very delicate during removal....
