Crankshaft position sensor bolts

[Silver Tex]

Hi Guys,
Any ideas on how to get the bolts back in? Have wrestled with this thing for 4 hours trying. Are there self aligning bolts that I can use. Just can't get them to start.
Am thinking about pulling the tranny dipstick for better access. I believe it should be an O-ring and braced to a bell housing bolt right?
Any wisdom is appreciated.
thanks,
Scott.

Pulled "Y" pipe and trans dip stick for access. Got bolts installed in 10 minutes. Runs real well. Starts with no gas peddle now (as it should). Learned the hard way on how to replace sensor. Pull the extra pieces, it is well worth the effort. Not enough beer available to do it any other way. My .02.

When pulling the sensor, did you just pull firmly or was there a trick to getting it out?
