Ok well im stumped I've located the old CPS and took it out. Looked at the new one that nissan dealership gave me and at the O-ring place on the new one looks as if it was made 2 times bigger then the original one i took out. My question is when i take out the old one is there something else i need to take out along with the old cps that i pulled out or do i take out the old one and seat the new one in? Because during installation i tried to force it in.. and as you can see in the picture it was stuck and when i was trying to pull it out i broke the place to seat the bolt into the block. oops :\ but it feels like when i put the new one in its as far as it will go and wont even budge when i apply force to it.

Take it back, tell them it was the wrong one and their fault for it not fitting. They need to replace the new item.

you think that could work i mean i would bet 1 gajillion dollars to a tech who can stick that new CPS in and try by hand to take it out... BY HAND! the old one that i pulled out comes out with ease and goes in with ease i even lubed up the new one and it still got stuck in there.
