found my crank sensor problem. BENT RELUCTOR WHEEL NOW HOW TO FIX IT

[JS370]

After throwing the crank sensor code.
I
1 BOUGHT A NEW SENSOR\
2.BOUGHT A NEW PIGTAIL
3. CHECK VOLTAGE IN THE WIRING FROM THE PIN.
all check out good.
So I turned a the crank and used a mirror and looked thru the sensor hole and saw two places with the crank reluctor wheel tab was bent. In two spots the back row had two spots where they bent over into the space of the front row.
1 HOW TO FIX THIS?
IF I bent the tabs back in order will it work. Im trying to drop the k meber and pull the pan i just unbolted the motor mounts. any help would be greatly appericated.

anyone done this before

My question is how did they get bent?
I'd say just replace it, but you might as well try and straiten them I guess...

With the pan off you could put a straight edge on the reluctor ring to help align the tabs while straightening.

How straight does it have to be I got one of them almost perfect but the other one was pretty smashed down I got it bent up but the gap between the two ring is very small compared to the rest of the ring. Any ideas.

[JS370]

hard to tell from the angle but the tab were completly bent over. Im just worried about the spacing between the two reluctors

any thoughts

Thats a tough call. I would say pull the crank and fix it right. If you want to test it, you could put the crank sensor back in and connect an ohm meter to the sensor and rotate the crank to see if it will work.

If I put it together it will work or will not right
