Damn CPS screws

[shodup]

After 2 nights of trying to get the now stripped screws out one of the mechanics gave me an idea. Saw a groove into the screws and get them out with a flat head and it WORKED!!! Two bloody knuckles later my SHO has a new crank sensor :hdance:

I always just cut the CPS off and visegrip the old screws out.

Tried that I couldnt get a grip on the screws but the sensor itself was ripped out I took a flat head and hammer and took it out but the rings were left with the screws.

If it makes you feel any better, I just got done removing a broken valve cover bolt.

Use one of these and you should never have a problem with a crank sensor screw again:

Gives you the leverage you need in the confined space.

Oh dear GOD lol my patience with working on SHOs has come to a very thin line.

Yea a minor CPS job turned into a FULL front and upper 60k but i guess thats the price paid for owning a SHO
