speed sensor stuck
 

hey all, so i was in the process of replacing my speed/reference sensor and all was going smooth until i reached the speed sensor removal. basically i got the speed sensor out just far enough that i can see the o-ring. it will not budge any further. it rotates freely in the bracket but will not come out or go back in. I'm baffled.

Happens to many owners.

Do not be baffled.

Two schools of thought:

PB Blaster, gentle persuasion, twist and push, twist and pull, apply a little heat, lather, rinse repeat.

My method: BFH, giant screwdriver, pry bar, brute force, ignorance. Break that bracket and you're done in 5 min.

First method worked on my 84. Second method on wifey's 87.

At the first signs of frustration go directly to method two. Trust me...
