crank sensor

[gregjo1948]

2001 Dodge 2500 4x4 Cummins 5.9l--Broke off the crank sensor flush with the engine block. Drilled a hole in it, run a small lag bolt into it, pulled on it and the lag just ripped a bigger hole in the plastic sensor. How do I get it out? thanks for ideas, gregjo1948

I just broke off the plastic that stuck out beyond the block and covered the hole with a metal plate. Dodge just stuck the sensor in there to plug the hole in the block.

was it a sensor in there or just a blank plug to plug the hole?
