Thanks all. I am persuaded to get a decent tool for the job.
Most seem to recommend using an anti-seize compound when installing the new sensor. Are they all the same? ie I can just walk into a local auto parts store and pick up whatever is pegged?
It seems preferable to apply the compound directly to the sensor, not the female threads, to avoid contamination upon inserting the sensor. The threads look pretty scant, so I am thinking to use a q tip to apply the compound to the sensor threads to get a precise application.

The advice is ill-advised. The sensor heats up and expands and forces the anti-seize... MarcW - 9 years ago |
We installed it just fine without the tool... RainyDayGarage - 9 years ago |
