Trying to change the blue temperature sensor on a M20 Engine. I've removed the brown temperature sensor but can't get in with a 19mm spanner to remove the blue one, tried with 19mm socket but not deep enough due to blue terminal block.

Any ideas on how to get the blue temperature sensor out without having to remove too many parts from the engine???

Cheers,
Nicky.

It can a bit of nightmare, the injector rail can get in the way, at least its off now.
