Easiest way to unplug Camshaft Sensors

I noticed a lot of people having a difficult time trying to unplug their cam sensors. I've seen other people offering tips but this seems to be the easiest way. Just gonna throw this out there for anyone who might find it helpful.




Grab some needle nose pliers and place it on the plug like this.





Squeeze the pliers until the green locking tab pushes in slightly and protrudes towards the sensor. Now your sensor should be unlocked.






Grab the sensor firmly in one hand. Grab the connector with your other hand and wiggle as you pull them apart. You might have to pull it a little hard for the sensor to pop out.






Insert your new sensor and push it in firmly. Press the green tab back into its original position until it clicks. The new sensor should be locked in now.

That's almost exactly how I replaced ours but I used the pliers to pull it out. Pretty simple job but can be frustrating for some.
