you need a little elbow grease. there is an o ring. Alight pry with a slotted screwdriver should do. estimated repair time is 30 min

thats the cam speed sensor that your talking about, which is #12 in the picture. the one i need to remove is #11(SOLENOID VALVE) which is deep in the timing case cover.
