Not without damaging the fins anyway.... Tonight I'm adapting a ringspanner so it goes over the wire of the sensor and over the hex portion.... (a bit like a crows foot spanner) It'll come out, trust me....
Just cut the wire. If it is in there that tight it is likely the original one. You don't want to use that one for a new engine. It is just one of the many "while you are in there" things to upgrade.
