[V8] Reference sensor R/R HELP!

[Kneale Brownson]

For my short, fat arms and big belly, it was impossible to do from the top
and difficult from underneath when lying on my back with the car on
jackstands.  A hoist would make you much more maneuverable and probably
make the tasks easiest.  I used a 10 mm wrench duct-taped to a longer
wrench to reach in between the exhaust piping to get the heat shield bolts
off and retightened.  It was quite a struggle to get the shield back in
place and a bolt started.  Once I got one going, it was easier to insert
the second.  I got them both finger tight before I applied the wrench.  I
still had to take off the airbox to get the connectors back into their
respective spots in the wiring harness.
