If warmed though you can usually slip the insulator (!) down the wire and then with care spread the connector a little if it's really stuck. They probably haven't been apart in over 50 years, or, as John says, they'll have been changed.
it's called fun for some reason. But it is satisfying, and you will learn about your particular car.
*EDIT: Something like Vaseline can be rubbed on once it's put back together to keep water out, but sparingly as the stuff attracts dust etc.
