Im not as concerned about the replacing as I am about the coding. Correct me if im wrong, but don't you need dealership level programs? That's why I originally wanted to repair it instead of replacing it, but honestly yeah if im gonna do all this work to get to the sensor, I might as well consider replacing it.

Make sure you mark the steering shaft and coupling so you clock it properly when you put the two back together or the wheel will be turned when wheels are straight. Don't ask me how I know.
After replacing how did you code it? Also, haha the more I do research, the less I look forward to it.

Dirty contacts self clean from wiping when they are aged enough they can clean up good enough to work ok for a while then suddenly blip a bad reading.

You can also likely just treat the contact surfaces with deoxit pro gold and have instant fix.
I remember you mentioning Deoxit Pro Gold before, might as well give it a shot.

It only needs to be calibrated and that can be done with your Foxwell scanner.
