Btw, this arrowhead split is the cause of all the problems. It allows one side to go in slightly further than the other, which skews the whole sleeve and causes half of the tangs to remain locked. That's what jams it up and that's why there's a special tool.
I searched for a special tool to buy but couldn't find one in the UK. This one in the USA is all I found.

Hi Simon.
Would this be of any use to you for releasing the connector ?
