You can save some $$ by getting one w/o the full lead & hook-up, i.e.
you cut the existing wire and splice on the new sensor.

There is a special socket for these... sort of like a spark plug socket
but with a slot up the side so you can get it over the wire.  I would
also use a liberal amount of PB Blaster or such.
