TDC Sensor Removal (CU Engine)

[Andyroo]

Hoping this is a simple one...

Has anyone removed the TDC electrical sensor from the crankcase on an Aircooled 2ltr CU engine before?
Case is stripped. I know it has to be removed out towards where the flywheel was, but it won't budge.
I don't want to force it.

Why do you need to do that - AFAIK it was only used in the factory for setting up, timing is still set by dizzy adjustment

It needs plenty of force to get it out

[Andyroo]

So does it just push out?
Fully stripping the case of all components and the wire has snapped.

Is there a practical reason for needing to remove it, or do you just want to for cosmetic reasons? I ask because it's redundant and can safely be left alone.

Everything else is being removed from the case. I was going to remove this too before steam cleaning. Plus, the wire has snapped off by the plastic part sticking out of the case. I was going to repair it.
