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.

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

Mine broke off. Your milage may vary.
