PCM connectors removal

[hitekrdnk51]

So I want to install a Edge programmer for my 18 Ram 2500 with the 6.4. This should have been a simple install, but I have one problem. How the hell do you get the connectors off? I released the red tabs, but I can't get the connectors to budge. I tried for an hour to get them to release moving them back and forth by hand. I haven't tried prying them off for fear of screwing them up. Any help appreciated.

You have to spray a lubricant on and around the connector, because of where it is and the heat generated, I use a lubricant such as CRC Power Lube and work it into the connector when getting it to release, there is a company that sells the connector.
