Default Crank sensor plug, how to unclip it?

Hi, this is my first Civic and I don't know much about it. But I do know the wire to this plug has been cut by a belt and I need to unclip this plug to free the wire to do the repair (and clip the wire in place to keep from happening again) Here is a picture of my plug http://www.classicglastron.com/plug.jpg It's under the fuel injector rail close to the timing belt end of the motor. To release the plug do I have to push or pull something? I'm going to have to get someone with a small hand to reach in there to do it and I want to know ahead of time what instructions to give. Many thanks in advance your your help.

Todd

At the bottom right of the picture is that tab with the steps. I push (not pull) that?

Thanks,
Todd

Be carefull when you pull on those plugs, i've broken a couple because i did too much pulled on the tab too much and didn't take the connector out fast enough.
