How to unclip this sensor?

Hi all, I'm removing my front bumper today but cant get this sensor unplugged. What's the secret? This is either the parking sensor plug or temp sensor plug.

Squeeze on the clip and also push the sensor connector inwards a bit to make sure the clip releases off the tab.

Is "the clip" the top or bottom of sensor in my attached picture. I've been squeezing this damn thing for an hour and a half. How hard must one pull?

Why are you taking it out? Installing front lip?

Putting in some rhombic gloss black mesh to protect the rads.

Turns out just needed smaller fingers. Got the wife involved and she got it out instantly lol.
