USB 3.0 cable stuck in header


Recommended Posts

Hello,

My USB 3.0 cable is completely stuck in my usb 3.0 header. I have only one on my motherboard (z170 pro gaming)

So I am unsure what to do. The plastic surroundings looks like it will come off when I pull too hard. So I tried pushing it down with the flat end of a screwdriver, but I still needed a lot of force for it.

I also tried prying with a screwdriver in the gaps, and now the header is feeling kinda loose. Any tips, and does anyone know a borderline of how much force I may use.
I wanted to remove it from the header for new CPU cooling unit, and cable management.
