Replacing height sensor

Need your advice on replacing a D3 height sensor, particularly on how to get the connector disconnected from the faulty height sensor without damaging the connector. I just cannot get it pulled off... Is there a trick?

Just make sure you press the little tab in that releases the plug from the body..use plenty of wd40 on it..

Could not yet get any movement when pressing any tab. Will blast it with WD40 and try again. Is there a particular spot where I need to push?

Yes you can see a ridged or raised part on the plug, just unscrew the sensor and pull off the rubber hinge then you can see it better..
