Ignition Coil Connector stuck

[Z4owners]

Hello everyone, does anyone know how to remove a stuck ignition coil connector. I am trying to change the valve cover and can’t seem to get these off. Prying with a screw driver seems it would damage the electrical connector.

( the coil can be removed from the spark plug well but the electrical plug won’t eject from the coil when lifted)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So have you lifted the black plastic top? You pull it up and the plug comes straight out.
I’ve never seen one stuck
