The sensor has ceramic material inside it.. cut the wires off...get a pipe wrench behind the nut flats..pull down and break it..Might have to work it some..but it will come off as the ceramic breaks inside..WATCH you EYES..wear saftey glasses or something..this will give you a shorter distance to fit a socket over the actual Nut Flats..then if you have to get a deep socket (Impact preferably) or a stripped bolt remover socket..Hammer it on take off with Breaker bar (your gonna have to have some leverage) or better yet a Impact tool..
