if you lay on top of the engine from the driver side you can reach your left hand in very easily.

OK ... TTT


Of the three methods I've seen, this is the one I'm trying ...



I cannot get the socket to align with the sensor no matter what I try. I guess my socket is a little too long, or I can't flex the head of the ratchet enough.




Here's my question, let's imagine I get the old sensor off. How in the world would I be able to align and screw in the new sensor?




[BTW,

(1)I think unbolting the mount and lifting the right side of the engine won't work because of my beam plate making the engine/tranny/diff one stiff piece
(2)removing the oil filter housing looks even more scary. I have one oil line off (it was on there with more than 40lb/ft for sure!), but I'm not sure how to remove the lower line without removing the adapter. And then, if I do get the filter housing unbolted, can I twist it enough to reach the adapter, and then what about a gasket, and locktite for the sensors, and how do I seal the adapter, and ..
(3)so, I really want to get Dave's way to work ... help]
