I have never done this and just thought it would be somethig i might try as a last resort b/4 having to pull the tranny. How about getting a long. 6" maybe coarse deck screw with a philips drive and a long philips bit and maybe an extension(you could tape this whole assembly together ) and try driving this down into the piece remaining in the bracket with a cordless dtrill. If the remains of the sensor can be penetrated it might just give you something to get some grip on and maybe the torque from the drill may even start the remains spinning in the bracket. Just an idea that might sound crazy. Hope everything works out.

I did do this r & r once on my daughter's car(700 but fortunately I had no problems) so I know where you have to reach to get at it

Hi,

Not a very helpful post, but I can tell you I cut open the one you see in this pic and found water had followed the harness inside and rusting of the magnetic iron core was the cause of its body swelling about where the bracket holds it. I was a bit concerned at first P B'laster might attack the plastic, but it didn't seem to bother it a bit. My condolences on your EGR pipe obstruction-- I suppose that would probably break if you tried to remove it.

I would not waste your time trying to get to it from underneath, your best bet is to do just what you did, spray some PB on it and walk away.

Continued patience and lots of PB Blaster. The body is plastic so it should not be rusted to the pot metal mount. There may be corrosion at the aluminum insert of the CPS and the metal mount, maybe try to slide a single edge razor blade under the mounting tab. Or a small angled pliers gently trying to rotate in the mount. I'd stay away from hammers and screw drivers prying on it. Good luck. Dan
