1984 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Question

Check engine light came on and my tester (Auto X-Ray Tech Scan 7000) showed it was the VSS. Made sense since the speedo stopped working.
I've located the VSS on top of the transmission, left hand side. I can remove the connector (electrical wirings), but I'm not sure how the sensor itself is removed. It does turn side to side, but how do you remove it?

Thanks in advance.

Remove VSS retainer then pull the VSS straight out of the transmission.

Note: There is an O - ring seal installed around the body of the VSS that will make it difficult to remove.
