Alternator connector -Simple perhaps dumb question

How does the bottom green electrical connector come off?

I'm in the middle of removing the head and for the life of me can't get that connector loose.

10+ or so others connectors have come off with no issue but I can't tell how this one is supposed to come off. Last thing I want to do is pry somewhere I'm not supposed to and break the green connector or snap the wires coming off of it.

In case your still stalled.

There is a tab in the middle of the side facing towards the exhaust header.

You might need small screwdriver to push it in while wiggling the connector with other hand.

if you are not replacing the alternator just leave it connected, thats what i do, i just rest it somewhere out of the way leaving the wiring connected

Thanks Guys.

I took the alternator out then disconnected the cable/ clip.
It was a lot easier than doing it while the alternator was still attached.
It was too tight to get my hands in there in a way that allowed me to disconnect it.
Even when the alternator was out it came off kind of hard. In any case it's done.

Thanks again for the tips/ help.
