It's most likely there's a 'barb' on the contact that needs to be depressed to release it. The manufacturers probably offer a special tool for the purpose but it's often possible to use a small slim screwdriver blade to do it. If you had access to a new contact it would show you where you need to go but if not it'll be trial and error. Either way it'll need to be released from the back of the moulding.

I bought a set of these, but have more success with a needle or pin. The red piece of plastic needs to come out the end of the connection first and then the pin goes in where the red piece was to prise back the plastic clip holding the connection pin in.
