What I thought was going to be a quick PM job replacing a deteriorating yellow band crank sensor is turning into a nightmare. Bolt came right out. I then preceeded to try and loosen it by tapping it with hammer and screw driver. It did rotate at first. To make a long story short after about 4 hours of trying everything to get the sensor out all I acomplished was to break the wire of and break about half the top off. Having EGR doesn't help as the pipe tends to get in the way. At the end of the day I sprayed on some PB blaster and wrapped it up. Tomorrow I'll put it on the lift and see if I can get it out from underneath. Its starting to feel like its going to become a rear main seal job.

Is there anyone that can give me some possible ways out of this mess. Would some heat with a propane torch help?
