Is it possible to remove the sensor by only taking off the thermostat housing? Or do I have to remove the waterpump as well? Not saying I wouldnt love a reason to tear it down and replace, 111,000 miles on it. Thanks

Coolant temp sensor comes out w/o removing any other part.

If you are quick & allow suction on the cooling system you won't even need to drain the coolant.

Can anyone give me the steps to replace this thing? My coolant sensor I keeping me from getting emissions! Seems like an easy fix and I hate to pay for it, just unsure where to start! Thanks.
