Default Replacing low coolant sensor

Hello all, after multiple burpings I found the low coolant sensor in the radiator of my 89 needs replacing. I just received a new sensor from Rock Auto but looking at the new sensor it doesn't look like it is threaded into the radiator. Does the old sensor just pull out and the new one pushed in? I don't want to screw something up by forcing it as I've been known to do. Going to Carlisle this month and would like to get this taken care of first.
Thanks for your help
Ed

On my 86 it just pulled out and the new one pushed in. Hope this helps.
