95 civic DX distributor 8-wire connector

Hey all, 1st post. Swapping the disty out on my 95 DX, and i've been stopped cold by the 8-wire connector on the wiring harness. No matter what I do, poke, pick, pry, I can't get the two pieces apart. My guess is that it's corroded inside, but I can't tell.

I've seen a couple of Youtubers doing this job run into the same problem, but they don't explain how they solved it, they just blow on past.

Is there a trick or secret to getting these apart without shredding the connector?

thanks all.
