    There is a pin you push to get the wires out...... It's covered in your Harley manual........

      Like Tattooo said.

      A straight o-ring pick would be an adequate tool to push the release pin.

        You need a pin extraction tool. Cheap and useful.
        I never had any luck with a pick, little screwdriver or anything else.

          This. You'll end up screwing up the housing using the wrong 'tool', and then it won't retain the pin (or socket) correctly.

              He's saying the tool is how you keep from breaking the ends....... Well that's my take on it.....

                        Lisle 56500 pin extraction tool is what I use. Has multiple bits for different connectors.

                          Those Lisles work well. Handy for other vehicles too.
