Tried removing my crank angle sensor but it was stuck on there good. Took out the 3 bolts, and it looks from the FSM that you can just pull it off. Anyone know of why its not coming off easily? Thanks

little suckers just tend to stick in there. Tap it with a screwdriver handle while rotating it and it will come out.

I tried to get mine out without removing the cover and it was a PITA. After removing the t-belt cover it poped out with a little persuasion. The rubber gasket probably has it bound up in there. WD-40 or soapy water will free it up.

spray the perimeter where it passes through the cover and tap it to work it in. Removing the cover will work if it comes to that just make sure to puul er straight and true on the way out
