Tail light socket plug

I have an issue with one of the tail light socket plugs on my 13 XLT. The center terminal is not making a connection with the pin in the socket that plugs into it. How do I take the wires out of the plug to fix it, or where can I get a new pigtail to wire in? Pictures included for reference.

Here's a really detailed description of how to repair Ford electrical connectors, it's a little long but once you watch the whole thing, you'll see how easy it can be.
