Hello all,
Due to a annoying check engine light,and bad gas mileage,I decided on trying to swap out the camshaft synchronizer sensor.I removed the upper intake manifold because I read that made it much easier to remove he sensor and I was able to get the hold down clamp off.At first,it was hard to turn,but I let it soak in penetrating oil over night it turns but I've been fighting all day trying to remove the darn thing.I have it set at TDC,but no matter where I rotate the engine,it still will not come out.With the limited space,It is difficult to get a good grip.I've tried a prybar and still cant get a grip on it to pop it out.
