I'm trying to replace the CPS and the sensor is stuck. I've done this job about 3 times before on other cars, but the sensor won't budge. I've sprayed it with silicone (it's an M47)and waited days, but it still won't budge.

I've been thinking about getting some long pliers to grab the sensor body and turn it (carefully) in the bracket, but I'm terrified of breaking it.

Art Benstein once posted that water can make its way down the cable and cause the sensor to swell from inside. I fear this may be the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dean
