What is the trick to pulling off connecter for CPS

I am attempting to replace my Camshaft Position Sensor. It is bank 1(closest to windshield).

I a having the worst time trying to figure out how to remove the connector. I decided to take the bolt out first to give me more room to work with the connector. After playing with it some, By using a flathead screwdriver, I found out that the tab moves forward. This alone, however, does not release the sensor. Is there something that I am missing here? I see everyone say that this is a 5 minute job, so it has to be something simple. Any help????

It is a strange kng of connector that Nissan uses almost everywhere under the hood. What you have to do is push the green tab down into the connector so thet the triangle tab is touching the brown part. then you cn pull the connector off. Push hard.

Thanks DennisMilk,

I finally got it off.
Now I have another problem. I put the new sensor on and now when I crank the car up, it cranks and dies immediately. Now I have something else to research
