Urgent!! My car outside on driveway, I found the CrankShaft Sensor.. i cant take off!

[takkie]

Ah,

my car is outside, with the intake off..etc.. i already chnaged the camshaft sensor - and i am replacing the crankshaft sensor - i found it based on some threads on this board - but I CANNOT TAKE THAT PLUG OFF!

I took a picture of the sensor - this is by far, the best, clearest picture I have ever seen for 2003 2.5 S altima on the net...

So, I know that people are saying push it in until you hear a click - so i did... I used a nose needle plier - and pushed the green thing inward - and I heard CLICK.... I tried to pull it - i cannot...

After I hear a click, do I need to squeeze it to take it out? if so, squeezethe green stuff toward outside ? or the Green area in the middle??

Please help - i just need some pionters, i dont want to break that piece....

HERE IS THE PICTURE BEFORE PUSHING CLIP TO CLICK!! http://www.katnik.com/cps.jpg

AFTER PUSHING CLIP TO CLICK!! http://www.katnik.com/cps.now.jpg


I will provide a detail walkthru after I am done, with pictures, and everything...

Thanks!

that could have really helped me a week ago, i had the same problem, couldn't pull out the plug. i just gave in after 3 hours and took it to the stealership, paid $93 just to install my crankshaft sensor.
