I need to change out my 'crankshaft position sensor' and I hear that this particular one is a 'bear' to remove? Can you folks instruct me the proper way to remove it or do you folks have a video that shows how? The video you folks have is for either smaller engines or different body types. The sensor is located to the rear of the engine block , on the driver's side and is about 8 inches long.Thank You
