Nothing special.
Use a very small flat head screwdriver to depress the tang and pull out the connector. The "tang" is on the other side of the spade connector your picture is showing.

The back side of spade connector should have a small tab that you need to press while pulling the wire.
Use a tiny flat blade screwdriver or one of these connector removal tool kits found everywhere (amazon, bay, aliexpress, etc.) |

Like all said, small flat screw driver.
Sometimes the tab is stuck to the connector, you have to push it from the back and then insert the screwdriver to flatten the tab and then pull. |
