YOU CAN!

I have done it before with the intake still on so anyone telling you it can't be done is lying!!

BUT, that doesn't mean its easy. Gotta have real skinny arms/small hands and be able to kneel up on the lower airbox to get back there far enough. Its definetely possible, but its almost not worth it.

Huge pain in the ***, but do-able...

id have to see a vid or pics...or im calling bs...not the smartest idea to replace a sensor that only holds onto the block, by a wafer thin piece without seeing what your doing...

taking the manifold off takes 15 mins at worst...
