That is why you dont bend stuff to make a job easier Ive worked on everything from lawn mowers to airplanes and you should never bend a guard out of the way just to make your job easier do it the right way or you will just tear stuff up. looking at it before I came here I was considering raising the engine or pulling the pulley due to those tabs. When you bent the tabs back you more than likely bend the pulley so now your going to have to go back in there and take the pulley off to change it anyway and you did twice the work now because of a shortcut.

A U-shaped o-ring or seal pick works well for electrical connectors that are hard to reach.
Here is some examples.

You can get a cheap set maybe from Harbor Freight or other places.
Made mostly to remove and install o-rings but the crooked ends often work well to pry up the locking tabs on electrical connectors.
