Spray them with CRC-556. WD-40, or some other penetrating lube and then coax and conjole them 'til they come out.

That's a 14 year-old car you're playing with--according to the Federal government it should have been in a junk yard two years ago...

I have seen that, I've seen some in which the sensor housing was pushed back off of the brass mounting bushing, and I've seen some smashed all to crap.

Here's a photo of one pushed back, before I fixed it, in a friend's car after he got a "real good deal" on having gears installed at a local auto repair place...
