(There has to be a better/shorter name.)
I'm trying to bypass my flaky brake pad wear indicator.
Rather than jump the connection at the wheel hub (where it is exposed to
the weather), I am trying to jump the connection inside the engine bay.
That is, the Bentley manual suggests :) that there is a secondary
connector between the one at the brake/hub and the instrument cluster.
I think I followed it to here:

Assuming that that is the correct connector (and please let me know if
I am wrong), how the heck to you get it apart? I have tried twisting
the two pieces, pushing and turning, and just pulling, but it doesn't
budge. I'd like to get it apart without trashing it.
Thanks,
