I made a special "tool" for the removal and install of this thing.  I went
and bought a cheapie 13mm deep socket and then cut a long slot down one side
with a rod saw.  (A rod saw is one of those "cuts in any direction" blades
that fit into a standard hacksaw frame.)  The deep socket along with the
slot allows you to get the working end of the socket down on the hex of the
sensor while the slot allows you to feed the wire out the side.
