socket. you have to take out the broken bottom w/the socket...thread the new one in till you can't anymore then put the socket on GENTLY and then put in the socket wrench and torque down....do everything very gently!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the same thing awhile back when i put my ls6 intake on. I super glued the 2 pieces of sensor back together and it worked fine for about 4 months or so, dont ask me how... But just recently when i started my cam swap i replaced it. I got one used in the parts for sale section for like $15. good luck

the new dealer ones aren't even 15 bux....at least here in Houston....
the tool may cost you 1.50.....they're just normal sockets....I just added the size and that you will need a tall one to get the job done right.

i just orderd one from orileys and they wanted $24 told me the dealer would cost more. i got the socket though. i think i'll try the super glue meathod. i plan on doing a cam sawp in about 2-4 months anyway.
