Did you squeeze the release clip near the back of the connector (where the wires come out)? Try pushing forward slightly, squeeze hard, then pull straight back.

alright i had same problem. You need to use a pair of pliers to squeeze the two blacks knobs together. Also this is much easier if the glove box is removed

Ooh sorry to hear you broke a tab off. Yes, squeeze the side closest to where the wires go in. I suggested pushing it forward slightly (into the FSR) first before you squeeze so that you can get the clip fully open, then pull back and over the tabs. Mine was tight but sounds like your FSR clip is much worse. GOOD LUCK.
