Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) crankshaft position sensor broke off in block

[cmills]

I was trying to change out the crankshaft position and in the process I snapped it off in block, I know you're wondering how I did this. I was turning it, prying on it, spraying it down with penetrating oil and doing all this over and over and this is the result. So any help on how to get it out would be great.





Thanks,

Cory

Never mind, finally got it out.

How did you get it out?

I guess I really didn't, my step-dad came over and drilled a small hole in it and then screwed in a drywall screw in which he was able to lock some vise-grips on, then he was able to spin the sensor around and then pry against the vise-grips with a screwdriver and it eventually came out. But boy, it sure had me worried because I had no idea how to get it out.
