Changing crankshaft sensor on 2002 nissan altima




By mrlwright on Nov 10, 2009

I have a 2002 nissan altima. I am trying to change the crankshaft sensor. I've read different instructions from different forums on how to remove it but none has worked. I have no problem disconnecting wire connection but removing the sensor itself seems almost impossible. Do you have any recommendations for this situation?

- But my problem is removing the bolt. I've read on wikianswers.com to removge the 10mm bolt use 1/4" drive ratchet with a 6" extension and a 10mm socket. It's impossible to use it because it's not enough space for the socket to fit onto the bolt. I've tried from the top but can't find a way to get it down there. Then i tried it from the side. Problem is there is only about 1/2" gap between the bolt and some other part on the engine.

I have replaced many of these. What I find works is a small flat screw driver. Pry under the sensor bodyand turn at the same time. That works for me
