Disconnecting common rail sensor - WTF??

Okay, maybe I'm a total idiot, but shouldn't the release tab for the common rail pressure sensor be ON TOP of the plug, not wedged underneath?

I can't get to the stupid thing because, well, there's a whole bunch of immovable stuff right underneath it. There is absolutely no room to get any tool near the tab to try and pull it out. And the angle is terrible so I can't even try pulling it out with tweezers or something.

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss here.

That should be a threaded sensor... what I have done in the past is back off the sensor until I could get to the connector and release it; then thread the sensor back in or replace the sensor (which is what I probably trying to do in the first place.

I use a pair of extra long thin nose pliers on my E320. Tweezers won't do it.
