Default Can't unplug distributor harness

Hi,

I need to replace my distributor o-ring, but have been stopped at the first hurdle: I can't unplug the wiring harness. There is a bracket/notch on one side that a flat head screwdriver fits into, but nothing happens. Am I meant to be squeezing it? Moving it up/down or back/forth Any ideas most welcome!

Never mind - got it finally. There is a tab near the back that I couldn't see at first.

Thanks PTV - turned out there was a tab I didn't see, but I'll remember that if anything else gets stuck.
