These bolts and sensors will be frozen in there really well so use a penetrating oil such as Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster. Sorry AdamSAAB, WD-40 is a water displacement (thus the WD) fluid with a very light oil, not a penetrating oil...many make this mistake! You may have to apply some heat in the form of a blow torch and even water to shock the threads into releasing. I also find that applying penetrating oil in advance, say a day and then a few hours before the work, helps as does slowly loosening and tightening the bolt/sensor while applying penetrating oil, ensures no broken studs or stripped threads. Good luck!
