Default Changing Oil Pressure Sensor
I read on a thread somewhere that the sensor can be changed without removing the intake, if you have small hands.

Anyone done it this way?

it should take about 30 minutes to pull the intake, about 10 after you've done a dozen or so

I would pull the intake. Just because you CAN get your hands behind there doesnt mean you'll have a lot of room to move or a lot of articulation once you've crammed your hand back there.
