I did this recently with a deep socket from Advanced Auto and a
breaker bar.  Worked a treat.  Seems to me I had the water pump
pulley off at the time because I was replacing also the cooling pipe
that goes forward to the thermostat; don't remember if that made any
difference to getting the sender out -- possibly better visibility.
