Alternator Plug

What is the trick to remove the alternator plug on a 2005 4.2L engine? There has got to be something I am not doing correctly and I don't want to break the plug.

Never mind, I got it. I was pushing and prying every way but the right way. Was planning on getting the bearings changed due to a high pitched periodic whine I am chasing, but now I will replace the alternator. The case is cracked where the bottom case bolt is threaded into the front half. Strange looking almost like a crack from something freezing.
