make sure to clean it up really good before you put it all back together.

be carefull as not to damage the threads on the housing....

mine was pretty tough to get out, the alluminum over time seizes to the threads on the sensor, just take your time.
I'm not very handy. This sounds a lot more difficult than I want it to be.

There is tubes and stuff in that area. Is it possible that I will melt something?
