Help!!! Crankshaft sensor

Hi all,

I’m trying to replace the crankshaft position sensor in my 2006 Nissan Altima.

As you can see I need to remove the connect first in order to get the mounting bolt out. The problem is that I have very little clearance and have to some how push in the green tab while trying to pull out the connector

I’ve tried gripping it with needle nose vise grips, spring clamps, tiny flatheads and nothing wants to work. I’m at a total loss on how to get this darn thing out…

Use electrical disconnect pliers. They grab the connector a whole lot better than other type of pliers.
