And tell me how I can re-wire it? I can't even get the original wires out! :(

Can’t think off hand what it’s called but basically the metal pins are pushed into the male part (bottom right of pic) after being crimped. To remove them you have to push the wire back through the plastic housing until the metal pins come out. These metal pins are not re-usable, you would need new ones. Easier to just buy a new connector and crimp it yourself.

Search for molex connectors on rs components. That’s who makes them not what there actually called. You can buy new pins, just the housing or both.
