There's a spark plug socket in your tool kit in the boot.

Just found it in andy everett's restoration book... 19 mm steeply cranked spanner ,no room for normal sockets let alone plug sockets.

I've used a 19mm open ended spanner to remove the blue sensor.
You have to turn it around once or twice but once the seal is broken you can usually unscrew it by hand after that.

I replaced mine yesterday, remove the brown sensor and an offset 19mm ring spanner.

Never said I have! I was answering a question as asked.
I usually try with an open ended spanner held at an angle first, but if it doesn't move easily, I take the brown one out.
