I’ve found my upstream o2 sensors. I am working on bank 1 driver’s side.
From what I’ve read, the disconnect is on the back side (so not any of the sides I am pointing the colored arrows at).
I have tried squeezing the back side and opposite front (so above the red arrow) with one hand and pulling with the other to no avail.
I’m trying not to be an idiot, so slowing down and asking here. Figuring using a vise grip to squeeze both sides is likely to break the “engine side” connector which would necessitate other repairs. Have read some people suggesting using a flathead to push on red arrow side, but again don’t want to shatter the beige holder.
It’s got some crud up in there but thinking spraying PB up and around it will not be helping me because the outer beige part will be more slick.
Any tips?
