Removing wiring from reverse light housing?

I need to replace my passenger side reverse light housing. There is a burr in the socket that catches/rips off the nub on every bulb I try to put in. I picked up a reproduction housing hoping that will solve the problem.

I briefly looked at things yesterday, and am unsure how the wiring is suppose to be removed from the socket so it can be swapped out. I don't want to break it, so I figured I should ask the experts before proceeding.

School me?

The housing was cheap, and replacing it will be faster in the end than trying to file down a burr in such a tight space.

All I want to know is how the wiring is supposed to come out so I don't make it a bigger job than it has to be.
