Disconnect MAF from Air Cleaner Housing

[deskjockey]

I have searched and read the posts on cleaning the MAF Sensor.
I have both CRC electronics cleaner and denatured alcohol

I have a 95 XLT, with cylindrical air cleaner housing
My question is how to unplug connector from actual
MAF Sensor. I pulled back the rubber grommet exposing where
the wires plug into the MAF in the air cleaner housing. There are two plastic
tabs that connect plug to sensor. Do I reach in with a small
screwdriver and pry the tabs to the side? Should I pry the two tabs up and pull?
Or should I push down on sensor tab and pull plug?

Just want to check before I break a piece of plastic and have
to shell out 100 bucks for new MAF ,,,,,,,

Thanks for the help with noob question

On my 96 I just pushed the tabs towards the wires and pulled it out. The tab pieces are attached to the connector piece with the wires and it all pulls out of the socket.

Hope this helps
