Big time pain to get to be very carefull not to break it off in the block then you will have serious issues. I soak it with some penetrant fluid move it a little then spray it again the key is to get the penetrant down the shaft of the crank sensor to lube the orings. The sensor is very long so extreme care must be taken. Unless you are very handy with your tools and have a lift I won't recommed you try it. Would have the dealership do it also you will have to perform a crank relearn after it's installed for best performace.
