Default Alternator plug will not come out!

Alternator plug will not come out. It comes out slightly with a tug but will not keep moving. I'm looking for the clip mentioned in several threads but I think the clip is broken or not there. It could have been broken in the past. Nevertheless, if i get this plug out, the sc4 will be back on the road with alternator shield for leaky power steering pump. I've tried some manipulation with a small screwdriver (carefully) but nothing so far. Any ideas?

I don't know if anyone mass produces an alternator shield. It is normally a diy project for sc400 owners to prevent the PS pump from leaking on to the alternator.
