Default Help removing Neuspeed module from Boost Sensor

Hey guys, I'm currently running a NS Power module, but am thinking of making the jump to APR. That said, last night, when trying to remove it, I was able to disconnect all the plugs except for one.

The one giving me trouble it the plug from the NS module that connects to the boost charge pipe. I've tried pushing on all kinda of pieces, and pulling uncomfortably hard, but it seems like I'm missing something. Can anyone give me some advice as to how to get this clip off without breaking anything?

Easiest is to get a flathead under the little clip like a thumbnail and slightly raise up while pulling it out at the same time.

Could you point to which clip you mean? I've tried the one in blue about every way I can think of, but haven't done much with the one in yellow...is the pink area where you're talking about inserting a flathead?

Ok, nevermind. You want to press on the bottom of the blue clip in order to release it and then pull down.

It doesn’t take much force, you’re just doing it wrong. Squeeze, push down on the clip and pull or wilggle free. Do NOT use a flat head. The clip will break

Believe me, I know. With the other three connections, this was super easy, this is the only one that I can't seem to get to "squeeze" hard enough or get to disengage from locking.

Yeah, once I saw the clip he was talking about, its not a flathead clip.

Well, good news is that now the NS Module is very easy to connect and disconnect....bad news is I broke the clip haha. Thanks all for your help -- I think the clip mightve just had one too many hot/cold cycles, and it broke off SUPER cleanly, so if I wanna run the module from now on, it'll be a little tape and or zipties for that connector.

yes. That plug is the hardest of the lot for me too. But all it takes for me is some decent wiggling (of the clip, not me) to get it out. And yes. Pressing hard on the blue clip.
