Ignition Coil Replacement

Aloha guys!
I cant seem to unplug the wiring connector from the original
coil .I'm replacing coil with a MSD unit.Is there a locking tab that holds it
in place or do I just grab it with my channel locks and YANK!!
Thanks in advance for any help.
Aloha from Maui,
CAL

If it's the rectangular shaped plug, there are two empty slots in the middle where I have used a pair of medium/toothed needle nose pliers to pull up gently, it should come right off. You didn't mention your year, I have/had 95 and 96. Yes, this plug was quite stuck on both my trucks I replaced coil on and used same method on both with no problems. Don't worry the new coil should "spark" things up a bit

There should be a clip on the bottom side that holds the connector on the coil.
