Help on MAF Sensor Clip - Cannot Remove

Hi guys!

I need your help.

Just got a JB+ for my 2011 Clubbie and I am trying to remove the MAF sensor.

I realize there is a push clip and when I push down on this clip and pull, nothing budges. The sensor feels like it is cemented in there! What the hell am I doing wrong?

I figured removing this thing would be so easy, but it's frustrated me beyond belief. Nothing looks busted or broken either.

I am pushing down where the red arrow is in this picture:

And then pulling but nothing happens.

Can anyone assist here? Is it just a simple push down and pull or am I missing something here?

Thank you in advance.

OK guys, I got it!

The right-side of the front clip was not rising up when the tab was depressed.

ARGH.

The little things.

Hahaha...

Sometimes those connectors get some dirt/gunk in them. Might just need a little wiggle action.
