I paid a mechanic friend $75 to do it with the swivel and ratchet. ALso bought the brass one from Oreilly's. Works like a charm now. Way better than the manual says. Just showed him the video and he was like.. hell yeah I can do that! '98

That's a good price for the sensor replacement. Hope the new one lasts a long time for you.

I don't have an issue now, but if I ever do...it's nice to know that it is possible to do w/o removing the intake.

Was this the same mechanic that changed your sway bars?
