Push in clip...pull? Maybe try pushing in the clip and taking a flat head and GENTLY twisting between the sensor and plug.

I can't stress enough about being gentile with harnesses and sensors. They go through lots of vibration and can break easily.

Shakuya88 is right, try to push it in and then try to rock it out. If you have a very thin flathead... try to push it into the sides of the connector so that you can break both surfaces free wherever it may be stuck. :/

Another thing that may help, is put the sensor back in and attach bolt and try to disconnect sensor then. I have not done this before so I'm not sure how much room there is and if this is possible, but the extra (leverage...while being gentle) could make the difference.
