Dan,
Yours may be easier than mine. I have SSI headers on the car and it was a real PITA to get to with the headers and shock in the way.
I was a aircraft mechanic for many years and am used to working in tight spaces, and this one was as bad as any airplane! I have seen posts of "just tighten it with a needle nose pliers" and such and on my car there is no way to get a normal tool in this area.
I have medical hemostats that are longer and smaller than the pliers and still had a difficult time getting in to work on the sensor.
I ended up borrowing a socket that had been modified with a slit in the side with a grinder that I borrowed from Tom Owen to tighten mine. You are correct that working on a 911 makes you very adaptable!
Agree with you that anyone with a sensor or relay that is 15 years old needs to switch them out.
Joe
