I'm trying to replace a PCB, but I can't figure out how to unplug these connectors. They seem to be a "quick connect" style. I've tried tugging on them and wiggling them, but they won't come off. There's a little bump that fits into the hole on the vertical tab that's holding them in. I've also tried to get a small screwdriver under the strip of metal that the bump is on, but there isn't really room to get it under. How can I unplug these connections without breaking them? Breaking the PCB is probably okay, since it's apparently already broken (and that's why I'm replacing it).
Here is the replacement PCB: link.

Those are commonly called Faston(tm), quick-connect, or tab connectors.
They often require significant force to remove (unless you want them to stay connected, in which case they will fall off).
If a staight pull will not disconnect them, and you are able to get something under the end of the female connector, you may be able to pry the female connector up a bit to make removal easier.
