1987 3.2 Cylinder Head Temp Sensor
Any suggestions on how to remove the cylinder head temp sensor. The wires appear to be permanently attached so I can't get a standard socket over it and there doesn't appear to be enough room around the sensor to get an open end wrench on it.
Any ideas, I would rather not ruin the sensor?

Just cut it off and then a 14mm deep socket will fit it.

I made a tool out of a Harbor freight sacrificial 14mm deep socket. Don't tell me Harbor Freight tools aren't good for something.
Usually, when I need to make a tool, I'll stop by Harbor Freight to see what I could cut up to make work.

Good suggestion John
Our Canadian Harbor Freight equivalent is Princess Auto, picked up a cheap 14 mm deep socket for the task. Slowly adding to my collection of "special" 911 tools Thanks |
