Problem with KS removal??

Sup everyone

Been doing some searches but have turned up with little info on my problem. I've been trying to remove my knock sensor with no luck so far. As i turn the wrench all that moves on the knock sensor is the middle piece. It doesn't even seem to budge the threads at all. When i started i used a little bit of pressure and the middle started to turn but the sensor was not moving off the block. My questions would be:

Is the KS broken? How do i go about getting this off? And has anyone ever had this problem before? Any ideas would be appreciated...

Thanks

Yes. And make sure you bleed the coolant system completely and properly when you put all that coolant back into the car.
