There are two socket head bolts that holds the sensor bracket to the back side of the bell housing. You have to loosen these. One is in a slot the other is a pivot.

The tip of the rear sensor has to be about the thickness of a dime off of the starter ring teeth.

Stuff a rag into the square hole where you check for the timing marks as you can drop the bolts into the clutch area real easily.

I usually take this bracket completely off with the sensors. I soak the hell out of the sensors with WD-40 or PB Blaster. I then remove the rear sensor and clean it and it's mounting hole so the sensor is an easy slip fit.

I put the bracket back in with the sensor out. I contact cement a dime to the tip of the sensor and slip it back into the hole. I adjust the bracket so I can just feel the dime on the sensor bottom out on the flywheel teeth. I snug the bracket so it's firm and pull the sensor out a little. I push the sensor back in till it bottoms out and check to see if there is a gap between the sensor and the bracket or if the sensor seated all the way.

You can also use some clay on the tip of the sensor to check the clearance.

I bet if you are able to pull the rear sensor out with out taking the bracket loose and use some clay to check the clearance it will be at least double the thickness of a dime. This is a typical cold start problem.

However you will find the sensors stuck tight in the bracket this is why you take the bracket out and soak it. Soaking it in the car can ruin the clutch.
