My AP2 torque sensor arrived the other day, after reading the last few posts, I am wondering if I could just clean mine, return the part I ordered and save ~$375. Although, now that I have already purchased the part, I might as well go ahead and replace it. If I do, maybe I will take the old one apart and clean it up, then sell it on Craigslist or eBay.

Been meaning to reply but got caught in the holiday. I cleaned mine last week and now it works perfectly. I removed the air box and went in from the top with the green replacement straw posted earlier. It is a bit more flexible than the usual red stuff that comes with the can. I inserted the CRC cleaner and sprayed then turned the wheel lock to lock a fair amount of times. Then repeated. I waited a few hours and repeated with the CRC lube. I waited a few hours and put it all back together. Works perfectly now. The pic below is a piece of coat hanger I fab to pull the seal back. Just sharpened the point, inserted it and stuck the green straw in gap created. It does not go in very far. It was easy enough, I should have done this months ago

Like I said earlier, I'm certain that many have needlessly replaced their sensors or entire rack.
