Just got caught in major rain, no power after I turned car off

I was able to look it over for about 10 minutes before work. The good news is, I found what I hope is the only issue. A blown fusible link at the bulkhead connector.



Now, the bad news. As you can see, it melted at the bulkhead connector. I grabbed some needle nosed pliers and pulled, and ended up with this.



Hmmm. Crap. So I take a small flathead screwdriver and try to loosen up any melted plastic or whatever that might be holding that connector in, and give it another pull with the pliers.



Son of a... Well, time to leave for work. Any tips on what I should do next? I'm going to pick up a fusible link at the parts store, but I'm not sure how to get that connector separated without completely jacking up the already melted bulkhead connector.
