Patience is your friend on a CPS replacement. It is held in place with a 10mm headed bolt if I recall correctly. A tiny 10mm socket and a foot or two of extensions and a ratchet are all you need. Putting a bit of grease or bubble gum inside the socket will help hold onto the bolt during removal and installation. It also doesn't hurt to have a 3/8ths U-joint in between the socket and the extension.
NOTE: Once the bolt is out, if the sensor does not come out easily, do NOT hammer on it! soak it in penetrating oil and try to twist it out. If you break the skimpy aluminum mount it is in, the transmission has to come out to correct the problem. That being said, on our 92 245 (North Carolina car... no rust), once I removed the bolt, the sensor came out with 0 effort while tugging on the harness.
Be patient.
