2.5L ('98-'01) Fuel tank Pressure Sensor wont press down???

[Leigh]

Trying to swap the Fuel-tank Pressure Sensor from failed fuel pump to replace onto new Fuel-pump.
Requires pressing down & 1/2 CCW turn to remove, but mine will not press down with all the force I can muster, or even with "tool" pressure.

Any ideas as how to free it up?

I finally, just gave up & bought a new one.

Sorry to hear about that Leigh.
I would not have any suggestions as how to get it out either.
I just wanted to say,
Good luck in the future.

Oh yeah and make sure you know that there are people who do pay attention to others posts.
