Need speed sensor help

Thanks to some org members I located the speed sensor on my 91 SE auto but I don't know how to remove it. I removed the one screw that appears to hold it in place. That loosens it but it will not come out. Any suggestions. Thanks.

spray a bit of PB Blaster or WD40 around the base, give the sensor a couple of LIGHT taps with a hammer, wiggle it, use flathead screwdriver to pry, take break, drink beer, repeat...

Just beat it and do the wiggle.
eventually it'll loosen up so it can come out

A small thermonuclear device would work, IMO. LOL

Seriously, though, try wiggling it around a bit. Gotta figure that it's been there for the past 16 years - it ain't leaving without a fight!
