You will have to be HOUDINI to get to it! I fixed it myself, and you can ONLY get to it by standing on the driver's side of the front fender lean over, use an EXTREMELY SMALL ratchet wrench with a 10mm socket on it but you first have to get underneath the car and DROP the STARTER down by undoing two bolts on the starter! Again, this is GM at it's finest hour (total stupidity) on the location of the crankshaft sensor! Took me nearly 5 hours to replace it!

NO MORE GM VEHICLES IN MY FUTURE!
