DIY help needed on Spark plug replacement

For those that have replaced their plugs (I'm running a Renntech ECU upgrade and have read that the newer OEM sparkplug are better) is there any trick to getting the electrical connector disconnected at the top of the igniter coil??

I release a grey lock at the top by sliding it out, but then it seems like the whole harness should just unplug, but I'm pulling relatively hard it it doesn't move? Trying to be careful not to break/crack the plastic connector.

Thx in advance,Will

The newer c218 has different coil packs, but thanks for the link. Seems like it should just work the same way to get them off!!!
