Default Crank Position Sensor
Do I need to drain oil to pull the sensor?

I wouldn't think so, but thought I'd ask first.

Thanks

I just pulled mine along with everything else getting ready to take the motor out for a rebuild. The hardest part of that job is bending all those little metal tabs that hold the wire around the crankcase.
