Nissan Repair: Replacing a Crankshaft Position Sensor, camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor


Question
I am trying to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor on my 2004 Nissan Altima with a 2.5 liter engine. The problem is I am having a very hard time removing the electrical connector on this sensor. I'm not sure if you squeeze a tab or insert a screwdriver into what appears to be a slot on the top side of the connector. It is very difficult to see this connector. Is there a method I can use to remove this connector without breaking it? The camshaft position sensor connector was very easy to remove by pushing in a tab at the top of the connector. The electrical connector for the crankshaft sensor appears different even though both the camshaft and the crankshaft sensor are the same.
Thanks for your help.

Mike,

Use the screwdriver to push in on the line at the top of the connector.  It pushes in and the conncetor pops off.  They look different so people will not mistakenly connect them backwards.  One lead is not long enough so I do not know why they bother...
