ABS Speed Sensor question

Replacing the rear speed sensor on my 2001 Navi. Got the sensor bolt removed and worked the sensor our of the diff. Question - what is the trick to getting the wire unplugged - it feels like it is going to break if I pull to hard and there does not apear to be a squeeeze to release or anything. Any ideas or help appreciated.

You could try taking some penetrating fluid or wd40 and spray it on the connection, sometimes this will break up the corrosion in the connector and will make it much eaiser separate. Before you start pulling make sure all the clips/retainers etc are not holding the connector on, some are hard to release but they will break if you just pull on it. Good luck, hope this helped.

Thanks, I can see that there are tabs on the new part - but the plug on the old one is completely covered so I can't really tell how the clips or retainers work. Should it just pull off or is there a trick to release? I will spray some WD as well - good idea!
