You may be able to do this by hand, but a mole wrench or similar will probably be required. Good large pliers will probably do the same job.
TIP Do not grip too tightly, (or you may damage the connector), just tight enough to do the job.

TIP It is easier to do this after removal of the lid because this allows easier access to the connection fastenings.
