MK3S Upgrade - Extruder Heater cable removal

I'm working on upgrading my MK3 to MK3S. I haven't gotten far. On Step 3 "Unplugging the Extruder Cables" I'm stuck on the Extruder Heater connector. How does this disconnect? I'm guessing there's a catch below the overhang of this monstrous connector but I can't reach it, and really don't know if one actually exists.

Does anyone have any helpful hints as to how to disconnect this cable?

Ok.... after digging around for a very long time with an allen wrench I eventually found the catch.
This should be called out as a HUGE pain point, perhaps with some helpful tips as how to get this done as I'm sure my way was NOT the proper way to do it.

I'm pretty sure there is no catch on that connector (unless you have a different hardware revision than I do); I've had it out a few times without issue. It's just a tight fit because it's a high current connector...
