    Crankshaft Position Sensor Stuck/Broken Off On Removal Attempt

    Good idea! It sucks for sure, but sounds like there will be a few things to do that will be easier with the subframe out of the way. 100% get an engine support bar or make one, It'll be way better. I did one with an engine hoist one time, and it was just a pain in the rear because the hoist legs were just in the way!

    Crankshaft Position Sensor Stuck/Broken Off On Removal Attempt

    Bite the bullet and pull the pan off, with a engine bay support bar its not really that hard. Replace the oil pump with a newer higher volume one while your at it. Your timing cover gasket is probably in need of replacement as well so you might as well make it a good project.

    Crankshaft Position Sensor Stuck/Broken Off On Removal Attempt

    I feel your pain but if it were my car, I would just drop the pan. I haven't done this on a 3.1 car as I own LQ1 cars but it's not a bad job really. Just make sure to clean everything well and you might as well put a new gasket on it. There are instructions in my manuals that require torque for the gasket and the metal tabs in certain areas of the perimeter of the pan flange. You'll also want to add dabs of silicone sealant in the corners of the pan where it goes up and around the crankshaft, etc. Again, the manual recommends this.
