cant get ref sensor out!
One of the sensors is stuck and i just cant get it out from the top. I took off both bolts from the bracket but there seems to be a sleeve of some sort in the whole where the locking bolt was, and i cant take the braket off because the sensor wont let me pull the bracket far enough out to get over that sleeve....how do you get the bracket off with the sensors still in?

hey, one of mine was hard too. I went from under and put a flathead screwdriver against the bottom of the top ledge part of the sensor and just tapped it out with a hammer. just make sure if it really is stuck on something you dont break it off at the top.
btw: the screwdriver i used was about 2 feet long.

AND MAKE SURE you dont drop anyhting in that hole int he bellhousing while your putting it back togeather!! YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF. I dropped a bolt in there that hold the ground cable to the top of the housing. it was the VERY LAST thing to do at the end of a clutch change job. i stood back and said... "ok take it back apart"
