Can you replace the factory head temp sensor with the engine still in the car?
Thanks |

It can be done. There are special sockets made for this that have a slot for the wire. I use a deep six point socket that has the face ground flush so it grabs as much of the sensor as possible. To clear the wire use an extension that has one corner ground off. Thread the wire up thru the socket then put the extension in.
