Sure did. Had a screwdriver stuck into the end of a 3 foot long massive pipe on which I hammered for a while, to no avail. Tried banging on a crowbar from underneath, from through the wheel well, from on top. No movement. Not much metal left. Only the flange, and it's pretty beat up.
Well now. I certainly didn't try that sequence of actions. Chilton's didn't describe that. I've got everything back together now so it'll have to wait until I'm bored again.
That's what I thought, but thanks for confirming.
I'll try a pro mechanic to see if they have any tricks to get that damn sensor out.
