Take your time. Walk away if you have to and come back to it later. It will be a pain but it can be done. Maybe someone else will come along with better info. Good luck with it.

kwik's idea is a good one. i've never run across this before...i'm not sure how much of the sensor you have left. i'm concerned that if it's a small amount and you press on it with a drill ( tight fit even with a right angle drill ) it could push it on in to the timing cover and into the engine. i would try this first, clean the area on the sensor real good with brake shoe cleaner, attach a bolt to the sensor with some super-bond adhesive. put the head of the bolt to the sensor. once it's cured put a flat washer and 2 nuts on the bolt, jam the nuts together. this will allow you to turn the sensor and apply pressure under the washer with a prybar get it out. kwik's would be faster if you knew for sure the sensor would not fall into the engine and if you have access to a right angle drill. have a good day !
