changing rear speed sensor
Help,
I need help changing the speed sensor on my rear diff on a 99' ram 1500 4x4. Supposed to be a simple 15 min job. Cant get the old one off the rear. Do I just yank it off. twist, turn, put it in neutral, raise the rear. I need it done so i can pass inspection on sat. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

RE: changing rear speed sensor
I just had to do this swap myself and there are 2 nuts, 1 holds down the wiring harness clamp and the other holds down the senesor, take both off and then get a pair of channel locks and pry it up and out. Be careful putting in the new one, mine broke and I'll have to do it again some time in the future (still works ok though).
