the bracket presents no problems to a careful mechanic.
the real trouble ensue when trying to remove this sensor from a poorly kept 240.
a 240 where the valve cover has been leaking for X years and the owner is to indifferent or to stupid to replace it.

all the oil weeps down the back onto the sensor where it combines with road grime to make cement.

in those situations luck as much as anything else is needed.

for the other 98 out of 100 times the bracket is more than strong enough.

my take on the bracket fitness comes down to this: if the owner is a slob caring for the car maybe you get lucky maybe you don't.
