940 Temp sensor.....!???!!?!!??! 900 1994

I had a bad temp sender on a 95 940. As you state, it is difficult to get a wrench in there. It would be a LOT LOT easier if you could slip a box end around the brass fitting, but the plastic part is in the way. I intentionally BROKE the plastic part off the top of the sensor and presto, I could fit a wrench around it very nicely. Got enough torgue on it to overcome the corrosion that was holding it in place. Then, I had my teenage son hold his finger over the hole while I carefully wrapped some teflon tape onto the new sensor. Screwed that puppy in there and because it was new, it was simple to hand-tighten. A couple of tries with an open end wrench tightened it up and it has never leaked a drop. Lost only a few drops of coolant during the procedure, and it was the first time my son ever got his finger wet.
