Changing the CPS... I need a pep talk 200 1989

It has been a long time since I changed out a CPS on a 240. The 7/9 cars have adequate room and don't present much of a problem, but this 240 is going to be a real challenge for me.

I remember the last time I did a 240 I worked from the bottom. However, after getting this car up and going after it I find that I can hardly get my fingers on the bolt. Removing the starter would provide more room on that side, but the sensor is more on the other side of center.

Going down from the top to get at the bolt might work with a universal extension on the socket, but once the bolt is out I am still faced with carefully removing the sensor so as not to break that old brittle plastic.

Any tips would be considered and appreciated. Thanks.

Randy
