How do you get the dang connector off of the sensor without breaking the connector? The new sensor has a hole in the side so you can get it off but the old one is solid all the way around...

 

TTT

 

I always have used a very small screwdriver and put in there wedging it under the clip, at that point just lever it out carefully, there is also the option of taking the whole thing off and then messing with it after you can see it a little bit better in the same fashion of course.

If your removing the oil pan the sensor has to come out

 

The small screwdriver worked for me as well. It has to be thin enough to fit in the opening in the connector tab. Then just be gentle and pry up while pulling the connector out.

 

i am replacing it because when i was taking out the oil pan the end of the sensor broke off.
