if you look up from behind, over the CV you'll find it much easier to look at what your hands are doing, the trick is lighting the area.

Here is the method I use...
looking from the location I described you will see the connector on the car's wire harness has a clip. slide a small screw driver in between the O2 Male connector and the inside of the car's female. Your screw driver should slide in against the male plug, NOT on the outside of the two mated... but between. This holds the clip out away from the male end. I then pull the wires, or connecter if the screw driver is short enough, while holding the screw driver in place with my other hand or other fingers if it is loose enough. you may need to wiggle it a bit or rock the screw driver's handle toward the front of the car to push the clip out a little bit more to clear the plug.


Hope that helps a little
