This looks like my first repair, hopefully it goes well.  The procedure looks a bit intimidating.  Thanks for sharing.

I found this very helpful recently. I bought a new hall sensor & with this it was so easy to strip & reassemble the whole can. Without this I would have just bought a whole new can so thus saved me quite a few bucks - Australian of course  8-)

I've got a few Honeywell sensors just in case I may need them .
How do you peen the rivet that is part of the sensor, to it's mounting plate without damaging the sensor ??

I made a anvil to support it  out of a piece of  cold rolled with a hole drill into the end of it

Thanks, I didn't know how fragile the plastic case of the sensor was .
