Unhappy W164 Brake Wear Cable replacement

Brake wear cable popped out of holder and tire has cut through the cable. Does anyone know how to dismantle the cable connector? I can find any release on the connector to disassemble the connector. I'm attacheing a picture of the connector

Smile Front Brake Wear cable Connector

Hi everyone: Ray here and Information was provided to me by "JustAsk / Lou P." Well worth the $5 to not break something. I've learned the hard way and have learned to ask a question before breaking something.
Notice the edge of a spring clip in the photo. Its actually a backward "C" shaped clip. Usually covered in dirt/mud but you can actually see the metal edge in the second picture.
Push inwards on this metal edge until you feel it pop into the detent. It will stay in this location and releases the connectors. Gently pull up on the connectors and they should pop right out if you pushed the clip in far enough. Just make sure you pull the clip back out after inserting the new cable.
Cable is Mercedes part # 166 540 01 05
Connector is # 62/36

Enjoy the ride and stay safe out there.
