thanks to the great writeup by Ryan_R, i've been able to remove the bolt that holds in the rpm sensor (5 minutes and most of that was to get the right tools out).

however, no matter what i've tried, i can't get the sensor out!

i had a little wiggle room to start, but couldn't get anywhere, and so sprayed it with pb blaster, and lost what wiggle room i had.

it's cold and snowy here in western ny, if that makes any difference...

my friend broke the bracket it sits in on his, and i don't want to make that same mistake, because now he has to drop the transmission...

i'm at the point where it's costing me a good bit to not have junior on the road... any last suggestions before i get it towed?

thanks!
