Camshaft bolt issue

Hi, I feel your pain - it can be difficult for the novice -- or even professional - mechanic to access difficult to reach places with limited clearance. Often times, techs will use special tools to secure a bolt in the tool when trying to fit it. And if it's not the "original" fastener, one wonders if the threads are even correct. Definitely do not force it. This is the time that spending a little extra on some professional assistance might be the answer, so as to have an experienced eye on what you're trying to do. I would also gently wonder why the sensor was being replaced in the first place. These aren't common for failure; it's more that a code will set due to a performance or stalling issue related to a different problem. So that's a consideration as well. I definitely recommend a professional consultation. Seek guidance at a shop near you before things get worse. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
