Too big...No room!

Went to unplug the EBPV sensor and find that I'm not double jointed enought and my arm and hand is tooooo big to get to it. Do you bigger fellas use some kind of tool to get it unplugged and what would you use to get it plugged back in if you so desired?

I know what you mean. My hands are small and I had to work at it. I think what you may need is a volunteer with small hands.

I know, no help, but it's the best I could think of during halftime of the game.

If you're proactive like me, i would remove the compressor manifold, clean it, and unplug the connector then. Remove the marmon clamp (V) from the compressor outlet and hang it over the compressor outlet neck,and then loosen the 4 clamps holding each end of the orange boots on. Loosen and remove the clamps (7/16" or 11mm) that hold the intercooler pipes to it. Then unplug the three or four connectors on the compressor manifold. Use brakekleen or MEK (maybe?) to clean the boots and the manifold. Chances are it's dirty there.
