3.2 motor - how to disconnect head sensor
 
Happy Labor Day!

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on how to disconnect the head sensor on the front of a 3.2 motor. My goal is to remove the engine tin, not the senor. But I cannot figure out an easy way to do it. Does it just unscrew?

Any suggestions?

If it is the old OEM, it is a 13MM deep socket. Cut the wire off.

Install:

Use a grinder and make a slotted 14MM deep socket tool to put on the new updated CHTS. Be very careful not to cross thread, the head is only aluminum.

Well for $95, I'll just work around the sesnor.

Thanks!

13mm Socket With Cut-out
 
You can remove it and save the wire by either making or buying a socket with a cut out:

Mine broke off. Your milage may vary.
