Crank sensor

[ZionLion]

My Clio, T reg, was having trouble starting so I moved the crank sensor and it started. I've done this a few times so I know this is the problem, I took out the 2 bolts holding the sensor on because I was going to clean it but I can't seem to get it off. Can anyone give me some info on how to remove it?
thanks.

Should just pull out and then should be a clip on the wiring that just unplugs.

​They are a known issue with the sensor and wiring and there was an updated blue version.

After I took out the bolts I tried to pull it out but it wouldn't move at all, I tried getting a screwdriver underneath it to pull it up but it still wouldn't shift. Would spraying some dw40 around it be ok to try?

​cheers.

sounds like it seized itself stuck, should come off with enough persuasion on 2 bolts hold it in.
