Default Separating MAT Sensor Connector Question

What is the correct procedure to separate the MAT sensor connector? I can't get mine to budge.

Thanks

Pull the latching clip and at the same time, then pull straight out.
If you don't pop up the locking clip the sensor plug ain't movin!

Thanks,

I actually had pulled the gray locking clip out completely, but I guess I was not squeezing the black clip hard enough. I finally got it to release. Next I replaced my LS1 air box lid with one from the ZO6. What a pain that was to get out until you understand how it is actually attached.

Think I will take a break and ice my back.

Regards,

Howard
