What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

How about using a pick?

Trying that, but still difficult because you have to go by feel. I can only see the connector when I hold a small mirror back there with a light shining on it

Frustrating as hell.

Yes. That black plastic cover on the back is pretty flimsy and has like sound deadening foam on the inside. I think it's only there for noise reduction inside the cabin

So I'm in the process of changing the sensor out. I can get to it OK, but I can't get the connector off. The side with the safety clip that pulls up and the push retainer is almost facing forward, a bit angled, towards the drivers headlight. It's really hard to get my fat thumbs between it and that damn plastic tower/shield mounted to back of engine. What the hell is that for anyway?

Same issue i had when i did it with the intake on.
It's a silly lock.
You need to slide the plastic (grey) piece up in order to get access to the little lock/latch.
I used a small screw driver or a pick to get that fker up.

even easier if you get it all the way out.

Biggest pita about the whole job is that stupid lock.

So once the grey part is up or off what needs to be done to remove the connector? Do you have to press that black split tab part in?

pull the grey tab up about 2/3'rds of the way then squeeze the black tab and pull up.
look at your new sensor you will see how the tab clips on.

IIRC there is a little thing to press to remove the connector once the grey thing is up and out of the way.

I do have my intake off right now, i'll try and go through the process to refresh my memory...

I took that ******* plastic cover off and left it off when I did my valley pan gasket shit.
