Success! I had to use my Dial Tool or Spudger . You telephone people know what I’m talking about. I was able to insert the hard wire end in the hole of the red thing and extract it. Then I used my smallest Jewelers screw driver to release the tab on the individual connector and pulled it right of the housing. The Dial Tool was used to remove a rotary dial to insert the phone number in the dial and to pick out a pair of wires in a cable or in a terminal box back in the day. All of which has gone by the way side. I have used that Dial Tool for so many other things other than telephone work. Thanks all!
