How to remove wires from fuse box

How do I remove the wires with their tags from the back of a MK2 passenger footwell fuse box?

Is there a "tag" to bend?

thank you

spent quite some time looking at the fuse box, even started cutting it up and finally found out how its done.

Looking at the back of the fuse box up towards each wire, there is a plastic "lever" that leans towards the tag. The "lever" sits directly under the head of the tag preventing the tag/wire from coming back out.

Push a small screwdriver up the side of the tag so the lever is pushed out of the way and then pull screwdriver and wire out of fusebox.

Once you know how, it's easy.
