When I went to take off the back drivers of off a junkyard town car all I could find was one bolt. I got this bolt off and still couldn't get the sensor off. What am I missing here? Also do I have to track the four foot cable to whatever it's connected to, to disconnect that was well? Or can I just get the senor without the cable?

Thanks!

it is rusted in place and you need to unplug the cable

You will have to turn it both ways to free the sensor from the mount. Good luck. BTW, the plug for the sensor is under the back seat cushion.

Ok great that helps. I guess I will need to buy something to free it. I cannot get these things out at the junkyard. I have tried with multiple cars thinking I was doing something wrong.

Tools needed: Pliers and WD-40.

I was thinking that cause here in FLA they just fall right out once the bolt is out.

Tools needed: Pliers and WD-40.Exactly. The ones in Phoebe were really stuck and I had to grab them with channel-locks and twist them out. I was afraid I had crushed them but they still work fine.
