Mine is leaking oil, how do I remove it? I looked in the FSM and searched.

I just used the appropriately sized metric open ended wrench, after disconnecting the wire from the sensor. I used some thread sealer on the sender when I put the new one in.

Edit: Don't know the torque specs off hand, but it's very easy to overtorque stuff in the aluminum head. Be careful putting the sender back in.

Did you put the wrench on the plastic sender or the collar above it? Because when I put a wrench on it it wouldn't come loose and sounded like it was cracking.
