One word of warning: If you break the bracket that the RPM sensor fastens into, you WILL have a transmission coming out of your car to repair it. That is the one and only way to put a new bracket on the back of the engine.

I've seen this happen; it isn't pretty. Not that it happens much, but it's worth a word of caution.

I'd recommend either a box end 10mm (shorty) or a very long 10mm socket/extention combination on a 1/4" drive. If you're lucky, the sensor will come right out. You might have to wiggle it CAREFULLY to extract it.

When you put it back, put a LIGHT film of grease around the perimeter of the hole into which the sensor goes. Just enough to make it slippery, not enough to foul the sensor. Put a little anti-seize compound on the threads of the 10mm bolt that fastens it, and you're back in business.
