Rear Light Cluster Question

[Ant-t]

So I'm trying to remove the white connector from my rear light cluster having removed the outer lenses. The white rectangular connector block has six wires for the rear lights. The connector seems to be held in and I don't want to force it and break the cluster or connector. I can't see any tabs or similar to press and release the connector from the block. My van is an early 1983, any ideas?

It should come out with a gentle pull , it’s probably the first time in 40 years it has been removed .

I had to work mine free with a small flathead by carefully levering both ends.

Thanks, I'll try it again, your right it hasn't been taken apart in 40 years!

i had this with mine and asked the same question on here.
took me some brute force and prying it off with a screwdriver but got it in the end!

Just updating this, the connectors do indeed just push in as advised above if anyone else comes across this issue. I used a little wd40 and left it for a couple of days and this worked, its a classic hasn't been moved in 40 years issue.
