This 91 740NA may be an odd one, but the ordeal that I thought would come to pass - after reading the FAQ's - never did.
This car is my niece's, and I have never seen a car that has been more abused and still run well ..at least when all the parts like the crank sensor are good.

Anyway - after I cleaned the area with some brake fluid and a brush - I just went in from the passenger side with a 10mm open end - broke it loose, and then worked out out with my fingers. Then lo and behold - it almost fell out of the hole by itself - not tight at all - and completely intact. I set the new one in by sight - went in easily ..then I just held my mouth right and blindly put it all back, including running the bolt in by hand before tightening with the wrench.

Just wanted all to know that it does not have to be a bad job, but always be prepared by reading the FAQs just in case.

I bet a turbo would be much different.
