Hi,

One of my sensors at the rear (centre drivers side) is on the blink, after doing an oil change I was having a go yesterday at removing it and I think the fact that I was born with only 2 hands is making it difficult :)

Am I correct in thinking that you have to pull open the two black tabs and pull the sensor towards the vehicle body at the same time?

Had a few goes with no success, always a bit nervous about applying too much pressure in case I break it....

Correct :thumbsup: try pushing the sucker from the front inwards as they get pretty wedged in there with all the mud and crap of the roads ;)
have a look at page two on this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1242&start=15 as there are a few pics on there that may help you.
Good luck :thumbsup:

Ah thanks for that x555, I had even checked TIS to be sure but was still a bit miffed that it didn't want to budge!

I'll have another go and up the force levels a notch ;)

Cheers,
