Broke Ignition Coil Harness Clip; Unable to Remove Ignition Coil from Connector

I accidentally Broke one of the six Ignition Coil Harness Clips / Tabs; I'm unable to Remove the Ignition Coil from the Connector now. Is there any solution to this? This one particular Coil Pack doesn't come off the harness freely even though the "press" tab is gone.

wiggle a small screwdriver in there and lever up the harness connector.

There are replacement connectors that are easily replaced if you haven't damaged the harness connector terminals. Autohausaz is one source for the repair kit IIRC.

As you can see below, you can also just splice the wires into your engine wiring harness. Make sure you use good electrical connections and solder and preferably shrink tube the splice. I don't like those crimp splices.
