It's pretty easy to access. Sits about 1/2 way along the engine (front to rear) on the right hand side. It sits up with the two wires sticking up vertical. It may be a bit of a reach, but it's relatively easy.

I agree with Wayne that failures of these seem relatively common. Mine does it at odd intervals and I take the wires off and clean the contacts. It will be fine for months, then it will start doing it again. I don't know whether it is a bad connection or whether the sensor is really playing up. I should probably buy a new one...
