Replacing Fuel Pump Wiring Intank

Can someone inform me how to get the connectors out of the plastic fittings? The one in the third picture is giving me fits.
It looks like it should swivel open but I can not get it to budge.

you want to lift up on the skinny grey tabs then the orange piece should pop out with some prying.

I managed to get the top pins loose. Now, the two spade receivers are holding firm.

I ended up at the local electronics shop and had a professional crimp and solder the wires for me. I ended up using all 10ga for the system except in the tank where 12ga worked fine.
