sensor removal

[imported_beck]

I feel this may be a silly question but is the rubber gromet the only thing holding the sensor in the well? I tried to dig slightly on the rubber already but didn't want to destroy it. I also didn't want to just yank the wire coming out of it. Figured I would ask first.

I have the oem but the early manuals don't seem to go into details, I guess the figure you must at least know some things.

Re: sensor removal

If you are referring to the temperature switch with the tan wire, you have to take the cylinder head off to remove it.

ezeke,

That is exactly the part I was talking about and I'm glad I asked. I would never have thought that the head would have to come off to get to it.

Thank you much,

Ps: After reading your answer I checked my manual again and do see where it is installed inside of the head. I need to pay closer attention.

Thanks again!

Not the head itself, just the water jacket cover, Right??
