CPS replacement success

After some research, I determined that my crankshaft position sensor was bad. The defining diagnostic was the lack of RPM on the tach when cranking. I took a half an hour a few days ago to remove the large exhaust heat shield and come up with a plan. I also hit the bolt with some PB Blaster, which I repeated several times before the removal today. Maybe overkill, but I have gotten in the habit anytime I have a car project.
This morning, I again removed the exhaust heat shield and removed the CPS with a #30 Torx 3/8 drive head with a u-Joint attachment. I cleaned the hole with a oily rag and after a little fussing got the new one in. It made a very positive click when it seated. The hardest part was the re-installation of the little heat shield that protects the CPS and bolt. All said and done, the reconnaissance took 1/2 hour and the actual procedure less than an hour. Easier than I expected, and runs great too.
