Looks like a screwdriver belongs in there, but doesn't seem to help much.

This link has good info:

" The small electrical connectors along the top with the gray tabs are easy- just pull the gray tabs to the 'out' position, and then press them towards their connector/cable, and they pull right out.

The larger electrical connectors for the coil packs themselves have tabs that you can push in with a small screwdriver while pulling down on the connectors, and they come right out. "

"
Make sure you get all the electrical connections back into place.

For the smaller ones with the gray clips, once you attach them, make sure you push the gray clips back down to the 'in' position. "
