CAS removal

I need to know what is holding the CAS (Crank Angle Sensor) in place.
Is it just 1 (one) screw or more ?

I removed the screw and I couldn't get it to move. I assumed it will pull right out if it seems like it is being held (maybe whoever messed with it before me glued it on or something). I was able to barely turn it with all my force. I tapped the CAS a few times but it still doesn't break loose

Any tips ?

Its just the one 10mm bolt. After that it just pulls out. It is usually stuck with a little bit of pressure, but just give it a good tug straight up and it will (should) come right out.

thanks for the quick response, I was able to get it out by getting a better grip with a big wrench and turn it until it broke loose.
It felt like popping a cherry

I aligned the marks and it's back in

Technically, it's a 10mm nut on a threaded stud.

Wow, that's fucked!
That means you remove the bolt and you basically can spin the CAS like all the way around?
That's not stock - seriously. There's usually a stud topped with a nut - the stud keeps the CAS from turning more than like 20-degrees total.
