96 buick regal 3.1 260,000km

3 days ago my car ran fine, the next day i put in my relay for a/c and my fuse for abs(took it out for the winter), and tried to start it and would not start! after some research on the web i summed up to be the crankshaft sensor (2 pin, side of the block) there are 2 on this car, the other is behind the crank pulley. gm said it is usually the one on the side of the block. so i went ahead and bought the part. got home and after some time i found it. boy is that tight!! anyways i got the bolt out and you think i could budge the sensor, nooooo! so my question is, how do you get it out? there is very little room for any type of screwdriver or a pry thing a ma jobber!! lol.
thanks in advance!!

any ideas, anyone?

ok well thanks everybody, don't all of you jump at this at once.

I have a 96 buick regal, i am also having crankshaft position sensor problems. i know where the one behind the ballancer is. where is the other one you are talking about. if i have any luck. ill let you know whats up.

there is only one crank sensor the other is the cam position sensor the crank sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer it take a little time to change the cam sensor is located to the left of the water pump below the pully it take only 1/2 hr at best to change

hold on, before replacing the sensor you need to have it diagnosed. its free at auto zone. make sure your replacing the correct sensor. i read something in a post about there being a bolt in the block losen that bolt and it will take the pressure off the sensor. i wouldnt recommend doing that till you have researched that farther though. cause like I said. i just remember seeing something in a thread. I may not be on the right track with it.
