Hello,

Are you able to see the broken part of the sensor?
You should be able to use a magnet to get it out if it is close to the opening.
If not you will have to take off the cover.

Here are few helpful articles for crank sensor:

I have attached the replacement diagram for the crank position sensor.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
