Earlier today I tried changing my timing belt on my 93 2wd 2.3. Everything went well until after removing the crank pulley, I couldn't get the washer behind the crank pulley (belt guide?) to slide off because the bracket holding the crank sensor was in the way. I removed 3 screws (1 10mm head and 2 8mm head) that retain the cs sensor bracket, but the bracket won't move and for the life of me I couldn't locate any other screws holding this thing on. I didn't want to put alot of force on that bracket because it seems from what I have read here so far it is not uncommon to break the cs sensor bracket on this engine.
After much profanity I decided the best choice was to put the truck back together (I need the truck everyday for work). I do want to do the timing belt soon though as its showing alot of dry rot cracks. Any advice on this would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
