is there a special trick to get the crank sensor out of an lm7 5.3? ive unbolted it and tried prying it out and the screwdriver will bend before it even budges, do you have to rotate it before you can pull it out? i tried that too but couldnt get it to turn either

 

No trick,if its been in there for years they are stubborn Use a good size sturdy screwdriver Pry up and twist it It will finally come out Has a o-ring that is probably hardened making it really snug

 

damn haha
