need help w crank sensor

[cetme1]

I've been trying to remove the crank sensor and bracket for a few hours and could use some help.
I took off the 13 mm stud and 13mm bolt, and loosened the pinch bolt, but they are both still very attached to the engine. What am I missing? It appears that the bracket is possibly broken near the sensor, but its tight in there and I can't tell for sure.

THere are two bolts that hold the bracket to the timing cover/block. Rotate the crankshaft so one of the windows in the interruptor ring lines up with the sensor to give you a little more room to work with.

Between the 2 bolts on the bracket there is a dowel pin that goes through the bracket and timing cover, and into the block.

Probably the best way is to take the bracket out in pieces as the new crank sensor should come with a new bracket and bolt.
