And the many super people including jaydee240 who share their experiences I can save tons of money that would go to the dealer and spend it on my family. plus the smiles, giggles and pride I share with myself for accomplishing difficult as well as easy jobs on my truck makes it all the more better. I'm plain ole smitten right now.

 

Though the come along was over the top. Broke mine today after installing new injectors. Figured how hard could it be. Just 1 bolt and a disconnect clip.
I guess every day you learn something. I pulled out a dermal type tool and used a rotozip bit. It got a bit smoky but I did get rid of all the plastic. Then I sort of slit the side of the metal. I managed to bend the metal in and was able to get needle nose pliers on the metal and just pulled the metal with the magnet out.
To bad the replacement from Advance is the wrong one. I checked the numbers on line and they gave me the one it calls for. To bad it is Sunday and after 5. I will track down another sensor and see if I still have a misfire. Damn..............

 

I have read a lot on here about how to remove a broken crank sensor. I found that the easiest way for me was to remove the plastic guard under the fender so you can see behind the Tire and from there you can drive a long screw into the bad broken sensor and then heat it with a cheap pluming torch from Walmart ($15.00) and it'll melt it just enough to pull it out without all the fuss over trying to get a drill in there or trying to rip things apart. The heat from the torch will not hurt anything as long as you keep it directed at the sensor. Also move any wires out of the way of the flame. It took me about ten minutes to remove mine after it broke using this method.

 

When you used that screw did you drill first or just screwed it

 

What exactly was the problem with your vehicle cause I can not figure out what is going on with my Jeep liberty sports 3.7 2002. It won't start but it tries just not completing fully. I even changed the crankshaft position sensor and the asd relay but still nothing.

 

Please check you pins under your fuse box this might be part of the issue. I'll try and send pics

 

Just reviving an old thread here to share my experiences. Same thing, 4.7L V8, attempting to remove the Crank sensor resulted in it breaking off inside the block. Using tips from this thread, I drilled out a 3/16 hole in the center of the carcass, then JB Welded a tap-con concrete screw. After letting it set for a few hours and curing, I sprayed some PB Blaster around the edge, let that sit until the next day. Then I used a $25 Harbor Freight slide hammer to work at it. After a hand full of whacks with the hammer, I could see the sensor was slowly being pulled out, so I kept at it. Within a minute or two I had the sensor out. Then I used a fine grit Dremel sanding drum to clean up the corrosion in the fitting, used a little gear oil to lube the o-ring, and replaced the sensor. Time from starting with the slide hammer to tightening down the new sensor was less than 10 mins.
