the rear one under the tank, you should be able to slide the whole connector off its mounting base then disconnect. i think its slid forward if i remember correctly. the frt one is just popping off the cover and disconnecting it. but yeah the rear one is a PITA..

The front one is under/inside the small plastic cover. Use a screwdriver and pry the plastic cover off and you will see the connector.
The rear one is under the oil tank. The wire is clipped to the bottom of the tank. Use a flashlight and take your time looking. If you can slide the wire off the clip then you'll be able to pull it out far enough to unplug the connector. Small hands will work better but I was able to do it with my extra large ones.

you probably won't be able to see the rear connector real good.. better off to just follow the wire back from the sensor, grab a hold of the connector and give it a shove/twist and it should pop loose.. be careful to pull on the connector body only and not the wires themselves. if the mounting tab happens to break since its plastic, don't get to excited.. just use a zip tie to hold it up in place when your going back together.
