Where is the crankshaft sensor on a jeep liberty?
If it breaks as mine did – Now you need a tow too! Get a piece of 1/4 steel rod , hold it with a vise grip and heat it red hot with a torch. This will be like a drill. Press it into the plastic ( it melts ) as deep as you can and make a couple of holes this way. Now break up the plastic part with a punch and bent needle nose pliers so that the metal sensor is loose enough to pull out . Careful – we do not want the large magnet metal part to fall into the engine now that it can wiggle past the timing wheel on the crankshaft! Then we have to lower the oil pan to fish it out. You do not have to remove the pan unless you want to – but the clearance needed to do that requires lifting the engine. Which the dealer may charge you for if you need to tow the car in.
