Broke off old crank sensor trying to get out on 97

[comet240]

hi i read online to remove the 97 sunfires crank sensor u can just easily remove it from the back underneath and pull it out well you cant
dont even know howyou can get at it from under neath i can see it but you cant

i was able to do tit from the top get the bolt out
and i tried wigglying in there to get it out but cant
so then took a chisle and hamer to try to seperate it from engine block u know to break the seal
well that worked or i thought it broke the flus off but left the 2 probe wires
how u get it off? i currently have the block heater pluged in to hope to heat the oil that it expands the engine block enough to pull on wires but if not what do u have to do? is this going to be a bitch fix or somewhat simple and i dont see why they have to make the opening between tranny and enging so small to get at that sensor and whats the sensor right beside it also?

so any help be great

havent tried yet but can i plug the new sensor on the wireharness and be able to start car even if its not in the engine? so i can heat the engine enough so it will expand to pull sensor out if that trick works?

so i tried putting new sensor on harness to start car no go

tried using butaine hand held torch to melt plastic no luck it turned red hot that about it didnt melt or flow out of the hole ugh cuz i tried heating then pulling with needle nose vise grips to pull on the 2 sensor leads well that didnt work in end they broke off now i going to try to hot glue a screw to my cordless screw driver and try to screw it in but who knows

anyone else have ideas?

as it be a beotch to get oil pan out dunno why they have to make it so hard to remove an oil pan ugh

[comet240]

so i was able to get a self taping deck screw to screw in but unable to pull it out

i even tried putting the needle nose vise grips on the screw and then from underneath use a pry bar to press against the oil pan and on the vise grip but it slips off and the rubber ring is holding it in place what else can i do like frig cuz i dotn wanna take oil pan off for this crap

Unfortunately, the only way I know how to get it out, is to tap it out from the inside....
