Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mild Bill" data-source="post: 125670" data-attributes="member: 23051">I went to remove the old sensor yesterday to find that the little nut holding the wire on top is solidly corroded and then I tried to remove the nut the entire center part turned rather than the nut.  PRetty sure it should not spin within the outerpar. And I was not cranking on it, just gentle turn to see if it would move.I also observed that the wire it's self has some places where the insulation/ woven heat sleeve has worn through, not sure if just old age or heat deterioration over the last few decades.At this time thinking I will have to clip the wire at the connector that goes over the threaded stud on top and crimp on a new connector when replacing the sensor.  Thinking I might see about some new insulation sleeve to put over the wire too.I will have one of the neighbor kids with skinnier arms than mine come over as he will be able to get both hands in by it to work on it,  Where I can get one hand in there somewhat close.Hoping the wire is not bad otherwise this will result in a lot of butt ache the way it goes in and down and around.... or at least how it appears to as best as I can see down in there.Thoughts, suggestions?</blockquote>
