Non-5.0 question for the techs
Sorry for the non-5.0 question, but my daily beater has a problem...
1998 2.2L S-10... I went to do the crank trigger tonight and the damn thing busted off at the head and is now stuck in the block. I searched the S10 forums some and found all sorts of recommendations. I already tried running a screw into it and yanking with a pry bar... Tomorrow I'm going to try the same thing with a slide hammer.
Any other thoughts?

if it has a crank sensor in the block ...drill a hole and use a easy out and spray some PB BLASTER around it....PB blaster putd the harry home owner WD -40[:'(] to shame!!!

RE: Non-5.0 question for the techs
It's pretty tough to get a drill in down to it. I suppose if all else fails I'll have the hole the drywall screw left to try to use.
Thanks.
edit:
Dime: The head of it snapped off and left the remainder in the block, stuck to all hell.
matt: Yes... Crank position sensor, and on an S10 2.2 it is mounted directly below the coil packs (passenger side on the bottom of the block)
Thanks.

RE: Non-5.0 question for the techs
might think this is a dumb idea, but you might try a powerful magnent to put up against the sensor and see if that'll pull it out. I know wal-mart has really powerful underwater magnents in the boating section that are cheap....just an idea.

RE: Non-5.0 question for the techs
its got a plastic case.
There is a magnent inside the plastic which is rather powerful, Its a variable reluctive sensor which creates AC voltage.
thats why I think I'd at least try it.
