Default coolant sensor replacement

<center><img src="http://boncratious.com/images/audi-cooolantsensor.jpg"></center><p>Maybe this is described in the Bentley manual, but since I don't have one yet (its on order) let me ask.

Replacing the coolant sensor in the 2.7T is supposed to be one of the easier operations. How do you get the connector off the coolant sensor? The first picture is a picture of it. I know there is a catch on the side of the sensor for it, but how do you un-catch it?

Second, after, moving the accordion air hose somewhat out of the way. There still isn't a lot of room to get your finger in there. The second picture shows a connector that is right in the way. Is it safe to remove this, and if so how do you remove it?

Thanks for the help.

Default remove coolant sensor: stick thumb under open part, gently wiggle/pull.

there really shouldn't be anything else in the way.
