Analog coolant temp sender - replace - 1992
Anyone replace the analog coolant temp sender? This sender (sensor) is located between cyl. 8 & 6.
I would be interested in knowing the tools you used. Cramped space doesn't allow a deep socket, and the electrical connector extends out too far for a standard socket.
I used an off-set closed-end wrench to remove the old sender, but having trouble getting the new sender threaded.
There are a multitude of threads concerning this sender, and the temp sensor on the pump, but no info about actual installation.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Why did you replace the sensor? Any changes? My 90 temp seems to read high. The fan does not come on until it the pretty near the top of the scale. I replaced the fan sensor under the TB already.

Mike, on the '92, the wire loom & dipstick tube are in the way. Even with everything moved, there is no clearance for a hand to keep the socket in place. Even my grandson's hand would not fit in the space.
