Anyone ever had an issue getting the left drive speed sensor on a 2018 CAT 259D off? I have tried everything. I have the bolt off but can not get the sensor to come out.

I am reaching behind. I can turn it a 1/8 of a turn left or right. Makes no sense why it isn’t coming out. I’ve put Chanel locks/vise grips wiggle back and forth and still won’t come.

Just have to pull on it harder. If it's turning it will come. If I'm remembering correctly the oring is a quarter inch or so down the shaft of the sensor not right on the top. It allows a bit of rust to form for you to drag the oring over
