Those may be what I call "hand grenade" terminals. They push in easy and then hand grenade into locks. You may be able to shine a small beam flashlight into the connector and see what kind of tabs are holding them in place. My guess is there are two tabs at right angles to those contacts. That will require a standard Lisle terminal tool that has two blades that slide between the connector housing to release the tabs. Then they pop right out.
I have dozens of terminal tools and harness makers are constantly changing terminals. There is no standard practice anymore. Thus, dealers sometimes maintain inventories of different terminals at very high cost. My explanation for such chaos is the Vice President For Customer Disatisfaction was working overtime on wiring harness designs.
The best terminal tools for most of the modern junk are ones I made by milling T-pins.
Below is the Lisle 56500 which still handles a number of modern applications.
