How on earth do you get the crankshaft position sensor off on a 2000 Ram with a 5.9 and an automatic. I got the bolts off, but cannot for the life of me get it out.

Any tricks?

Mine broke trying to remove it.The plastic seized in the housing.I ended up drilling it out with an air ratchet and drill bit-didnt have a right angle drill.

Ouch - -how on earth did you get to it?

I finally got it out after a titanic struggle. I think all is good now as the truck now runs.
