grip it on the sides with some pliers, the widest way is how you grab it, and pull gently.

If it's a 98, you'll need to unclip it, then just pull it off. I broke both of those clips off my old knock sensor harness.

Newer knock sensors must be squeezed and pulled. I used a screwdriver on each side and had a friend pull it out.
