Anyone have any tricks on changing the crank shaft positioning sensor?

a 1/4 drive... long a long extension.... TONS of patience.

I dont think there is an easy way to do it, i even had one break off in the block... talk about 2 hours of hell

Did you go from the bottom or from wheel Well. Possibly a swivel too.

What all do I have to remove to get to it?

 

[DEEZUZ]

take a 90 degree grinder with a small wire brush end and brush all around it to knock off any rust. do anything but twist it.. wiggle wiggle wiggle. when you get it out, take the wire brush to the sealing surface... it has to be perfect or itll toss cam codes and die

So I have to remove the ac compressor?

 

[DEEZUZ]

oh crap, sorry.... CRANK you said... no, crank sensor is much much easier than cam. sorry.

no it does not, just use 1/4 drive swivel

As long as it doesnt break off....you should be golden! Dont understand why i had one break, but it did haha

I went in from underneath and the front of the engine. But I had a lift. I did not remove anything. Like stated before 1/4 inch long ass extension and swivel. Patience is the key.
