My CPU to Fan Connector is stupidly hard to remove. Any advice?

I'm trying to remove my processor fan to wipe the dust off of it, but the 4-pin connector is sandwiched between my Memory Modules and PSU. The damn thing doesn't have any grips on the sides, but it does appear to have a small "lever" on the front that looks like it's supposed to be depressed to remove it. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 660s.
