Scared of what? It's extremely easy. Go get the socket for it and you can have it done in 5 min.

You won't have to take the intake off. Having the socket does make it a lot easier though.

This is why you run the sensor above the oil filter, sooooo much easier to get to and maintain.

mine was easy. When i got my car the hack that worked on it. broke that among many other things. We actually made a "custom" wrench since i didnt wanna buy a socket i use once every 5 years. screwed it in by hand til it stopped. and then used the wrench. Only thing i did was move booster vacuum hose out of the way to get to it easier.
