Throttle body connector stuck

Trying to change my PCV valve and and gaskets. I think these are connectors for the throttle bodies? but this one is stuck like an SOB. The mounting clips were so brittle this came off the metal mount almost immediately after touching them. Does anyone have a trick to getting this apart? I was able to get the other one apart without breaking but it was damn difficult. I think the rubber seal inside the connector is the culprit as the tabs are very easy to move into position on these.

the clip on mine is broken so its only held on by the gasket seal. so same situation as you are in. it takes a bit of force to separate the connector even without locking tabs there due to the suction from the gasket seal.

Saturate any seized electrical connectors going forward in WD40 to break the seal

Spray with a silicon/PTFE aerosol & give it an hour or two.
