[V8] Got to visit with Zay and Tony in Vegas

[Kneale Brownson]

I cut the wire at the sensor and put a long socket over it.  Used a breaker
bar and piece of pipe as an extension.  They make a special socket with a
slot in it for the wire, but the amount of trouble I had (part of the
threads from the sensor remained in the bung) probably would have led to
the socket failing.  I had to run a tap through the bung several times to
clean it out before installing the replacement sensor.
