If you were lucky enough not to have used all the other connectors on the molex (unlikely) then you could've simply chopped the wire and reconnected it via the free connector. It is probably sensible to push the wire (attached to the connector you want to remove) further into the connector - basically so you're pushing the barbs as far past the plastic block as possible - when you're inserting the thin tool. Those thin metal strip tools will insert up into the molex connector (in the same way/direction as you would insert the other connector) and push down the barbs allowing the individual connector to then slip past the plastic which is blocking it from coming out. The little barbs on the connectors will catch against the plastic inside the "tubes" of the connector. I'm having a senior moment and thinking "molex?" and at the moment I can only think of ones used in computer systems, so forgive me but the notion is probably the same: Guess it might come to a balance between economics and ease, whether you get a tool or simply cut off the entire connector and start again.
