Now that I have completed the replacement of the coolant temp sensor I can explain it so others can benefit.

First of all it is possible to change the sensor without removing the manifold.
Get yourself a deep socket (19mm) and a swivel adapter that goes into the socket along with a 12" extension.

I removed any vacuum hoses that were in the way and was able to loosen the sensor and remove it.

The old sensor had a copper washer on it which I transferred to the new sensor and I also wrapped the new sensor threads with some nylon plumbers tape before installing.

WHen reinstalling I was able to hand tighten as much as possible and then used the 19mm deep socket along with vice clamps which I used to grab the socket from underneath the manifold and really tighten it down

Cleared CEL and all is well.........................
