Once you rotate the mounting ear off to the side you can use the mounting ear to pry it out - carefully.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I�m replacing a faulty CPS on a 2002 C4S. The CPS is stuck and won�t budge. I have been soaking it with PB Blaster for a couple days. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

POST 2Original post

Try rotating it to break the bond between the O-ring and the engine. Once you rotate the mounting ear off to the side you can use the mounting ear to pry it out - carefully. Keep rotating it while you're doing this. Cut the wire off, if you need to.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I can�t seem to get a good grip on it. I don�t want to cut the wire in case I need to drive it to the shop to have them do it.

POST 4Original post

Use a screwdriver or a punch to tap it radially. The impacts help to break the stiction. Tap the ear if you can get to it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update. I had to take it into the shop. Took them 3 hours to work it loose.

Wow! In my neck o the woods that would have been $500 in labor... I would have gladly spent a few hours under the car and kept that cash in my pocket
