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?
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

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.
You have to do it from the bottom. Hold your rachet with extension close to the motor mount. Once bolt is out use a long nose vise grip to plug sensor out. be care ful not to crack the plastic.
