The best way is to remove the intake. The fastest way is to use flexible extension and remove it without removing the intake. A third way is to cut a hole in the cowl under the wiper tray. If you will search oil pressure sender, you can find a video or pictorial of all three methods and make up your own mind. For the record, I couldn't get one out using the don't remove anything but the sensor method shown in the video, but others have reported success.

Remove the intake and then make a relocation kit for the next time, I relocated mine and I can now change it in 5 minuets or less.
If you want a pdf file on how to make a kit send me your e-mail address in a pm.

theres a youtube video of a guy removing this sensor with the angled socket.. but its really tight back there (TWSS)
here is the location of the sensor, with the intake moved out of the way...
IF mine needs to be replaced again (its not unheard of for multiple failures) then it will definitely be relocated.

If I ever have to replace mine, I will do the relocation method - either by drilling the hole under the cowl or using the TPE relocation kit.
