I know BMW ones have a tiny hole in the ISO block that you can push a pin (on the connector) using a small wire bar (Jewellers Screw Driver) - Do you have anything like

A simple solution would be to buy a pack of crimped bullet connectors from somewhere like Halfords or Maplins and cut the 2 wires and place 2 Male and 2 Female bullet connectors on the appropriate ends and swap the colours over. Job done

They are spade connectors.
As Tricky says, some ISO blocks have a small hole you can get a jewellers screwdriver or similar in. If there's no hole, try sliding the driver down the hole from the open end. This is what I usually have to do (and my last few cars have been Vauxhalls). There is room to do it.



Not a great pic but you can see what I mean. Don't forget, before you put each terminal back in, to tease the little tag back up to stop them coming out again.
