Hi Tom,

First of all, I'm no expert, but since nobody else has replied I will.

That plug terminal will come apart, you just may have to pry and cuss a 
bit, but it will come apart. Having said that, if you are going to 
replace the under dash harness, you should also replace the tunnel 
harness that it plugs into. So it doesn't really matter if you can't get 
the connection apart. The tunnel harness is much cheaper than that under 
dash one and is subjected to a much harsher environment, so replace them 
both.

Luckily for me, the previous owner of my car already replaced the tunnel 
harness, but unfortunately didn't cough up the dough to do the under 
dash wires. I plan to replace the under dash harness when I get the car 
back from the body shop, since the interior is out of it and it needs it.
