Camshaft Position Sensor Connector removal from Timing Cover

[rworegon]

Ok, I have given the connector a gentle tug, but I have not been able to get it to unclip from the timing belt cover on the 3.4L V6. What's the trick for unclipping this connector without breaking a itsy, bitsy piece of plastic?

Thanks.

You need to squeeze the ends together with needle nose pliers and it will pop right out.

MTL_4runner, thanks...that did the trick. The WP is weeping slightly so I'll be ordering parts soon up for a wrenching day. WP/TB were replaced at 75k miles (leaky WP too)and it now has 175k.
