Disconnecting wires from washer pump

I just ordered a new windshield washer pump, to replace my non-working one on my 71 Supreme, and am trying to figure out how to pull out the wire plug. I can't see any tabs to push in before pulling out the wires and it won't freely come out. How do you pull these out?

Wehn I replaced the wiper motor in my 71 2 months ago, I just had to wiggle the plug back and forth some and it came right off. You might want to spray some elec. contact cleaner on it or WD40. the contacts may be corrioded causing it to not unplug.

Thanks. I had wiggled it quite a bit before, but I was afraid I'd break the connector, or something else if I kept up with it. Turns out I just needed to keep at it. It came loose with no problems. Now I have to wait for my washer pump to arrive.
