I'm replacing ballast on a lamp and need to connect wires to 4-pin socket.
I tried to pull the wires gently and it did not work. What is the safe way (in terms not breaking) to do so?

After discussing With jack and looking at the photo again I realized that is a CFL with a separate ballast. I was thinking disconnect not connection to the lamp in that case I would cut the wires off close to the ballast and splice. I have used wire nuts but with small solid wire and low current this is one place I use lever locks or push in stab splices have never had them fail in a fluorescent fixture and LED’s draw even less. I changed to lever locks as who knows some of these fixtures have been required 3X so far in their life with lever locks the connectors are a bit more but if another rewire is needed they will save time and money..
