Hi guys, doing the Bank 1 Sensor 1 O2 sensor on a 2006 VCM 3.5, the pre cat, rear (firewall) O2 sensor.

I got the sensor to break free no sweat, but I have a shredded right forearm and a tired left hand, and I have found no way to get the electrical connector to break free.

Its in a weird spot, naturally, and I can't get pliers or ViseGrips on the connector to pull it down while I release the catch tang with my right hand.

How in the hell do I get a stubborn Bank 1 Sensor 1 electrical connector loose on a 2006 3.5 in a 2006 Odyssey?

There is a flat tang the connector attaches to. You must lift the release tab on the sensor end of the connector and slide it towards the sensor to release it from the tang. Once free push the bigger tab to separate the connector.

So there are more than one little pivot tab / tang thing for me to pry open in order for the connector to come free?

Yes two release tabs. One to free from metal bracket one for connector to wire harness. The one to free from bracket is under the connector one the bracket side. Sorry it is hard to explain on the internet without a pic.

Thanks a lot - will report back with details to help future generations once I figure it out!
