If you push a small screwdriver into the rectangle hole in the side of the housing it will push in the barb holding the pin in and it will release. Once out the barb can be put back in it's angled position to allow it to be re clipped back in the housing. Don't forget which wire came from which hole.
@Echo the husky You're right! Dammit, i've already cut them. Do you know what these are called so I can google the right crimp tool? Feels easier than soldering.
But there are various different sizes of these things. It is probably easiest to measure the prongs of the other part of the connector. Do you have a micrometer? If you post the exact pitch (i.e. spacing) and thickness of the prongs I'll work out what connector you need.
(If you've kept the bits that you cut off, all you actually need are new crimp terminals; you can fit them to the existing bodies. It is possible to crimp them onto the wires using a pair of pliers, but it's not easy and you'll probably waste a few in the process. Or you can buy the right crimping tool.)

You could remove the existing crimps, cut off the wire and solder the existing wires onto the old crimps. Refit into the socket and if they won't lock into the socket put a little blog of epoxy glue into the back (where the wire enters)
