I tried to pull out all transformer primary winding wires from the quick
connect terminals, but I could not pull them out since they are pushed
into very tightly. Is there any way to pull them out easily? Or is it ok
to pull them more strongly?
Use a pliers on the connector metal crimp to pull and a flat head screw driver push on the connector tip should be able to release the connector.
From the picture of A-48 wiring, as @westcoastaudiophile pointed out,
the wiring scheme is the same as A-46, so I believe you can skip the resistance measurement, simply swap the black and brown wire, yellow and blue wire.
The new wiring diagram will be:
1= white+orange 2= red 3= yellow 4= blue+brown 5= black 6= none
It is very important to make sure no damage
to the A-48
if wiring change is wrong!
I strongly recommend to use a Dim Bulb Tester to power up the amp.

to verify correct voltage can measure voltage on large capacitor terminals, which should be in a range 50V to 55V
As @westcoastaudiophil suggested,
measuring voltages across large filter cap is the most reliable way to be sure the conversion done right: power up the A-48 with 100V mains voltage before conversion and power up the A-48 with 120V mains voltage after conversion, the voltages across filter caps should measured
about the same.
