stupid electrical connector trick

I fought with a spade connector for over an hour this evening, trying 
to remove it from the plastic plug. It seems easy to flatten the tang 
that retains the spade with a small flat head screwdriver and simply 
pull it out of the the plug. No luck.

In desperation I cut a piece of aluminum from a beer can (lucky there 
were a few handy) to the same width as the spade connector and used 
that to wedge the tang flat, the spade slipped out like butter!

Hope this helps someone else.
