yeah, I gots one of them too..... still a 'work in progress' there's 2 kinds of sensors. one goes into a 'well' that's mtd in the block, the other just gets screwed into the block, usually with an adapter 'bushing'. One problem is that most aftermarket stuff is actually Metric, 'made' to fit Imperial.... You might win by putting a pipewrench on the 'nut' closest to the block. That way when the metal deforms the sensor will keep it reasonably intact. I'd try a quick,hard pull but not too far. Rust has 'sealed' the threads. IF it loosens, go back and forth a zillion times, if you try to just crank it out, the rust WILL rebind the pieces up solid again, maybe worse ! It's one of those ..gotta have patience and THINK before you act PITA jobs. Now if you want to practice...... come on up !  jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

You could try the wax trick. I grow tired of writing about it, so here's a video. Just remember, from experience, bees wax seems to work best... [TUBE]7qqMXXGgFQg[/TUBE]

After asking a question and then saying you found the answer... ya gotta give us the answer.... inquiring minds want to know ------------- Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die |
