Originally posted by wallee: I just tried to replace mine today. After waiting for some dealer in the states to send the part to my local Ford dealer by courier turtle, ifinally found a sunny day to do the swap. Got the bolt out no problem and the old sensor will spin freely as much as it can but I can't get any outward movement. Soaked it with WD40 for an hour and still no luck. Any suggestions????????
Yeah, do exactly what I did. Keep spraying that WD40 and twist and PULL on it. Don't pull extremely hard until you've got it at least half way out. By twisting it back and forth you're actually getting that WD40 further inside and lubricating the entire part. That's probably the only way you'll get it out. Remember, it took me over an hour, so don't feel bad. Just keep twisting it back and forth, keep it lubed up and give it a good tug every once in awhile. Let us know how it goes too!
