the sensor itself?

just remove your alternator and get it out of the way. then get a deep 10mm socket on your 3/8" drive ratchet and take the bolt out. then you can fish the sensor out from behind the crank pulley. it took me maybe 10 minutes to get the thing out... i just pray you crank sensor isnt hardwired to the harness like this one.

sounds good...

im sure its possible to pull the sensor w/o removing the alternator... it just means you have to pull the crank pully instead. i chose to pull the alternator since its far easier and doesnt require 200lb/ft of torque to reinstall.

hey bro, its basically a magnet inside, so you can touch the casing of it. and it doesnt touch anything else, so you dont need to lube it up at all. you should avoid lubing it anyways, because its inside the timing case and you dont want that stuff getting on the belt.
