DPFE Sensor 99 Explorer v8. Tips Tricks?

Alright friends I need advice....again.

I have another thread on this but sheesh...it's impossible.
This DPFE sensor is a real b...h to get.
The 12pt screw is wedged between the sensor and a bracket.
Hoses hard to reach let alone hook up.

Was at the dealer for a brake flush and the techs hate this job.
They want 1.5 hour pay.

Who has done this?
Have a box wrench...nope. Can't get a socket in there?
Did you take the hood off and hang from the rafters?
Do I have to bent a bracket?

What a stupid place for a sensor.

Have any tips for this guy?

Would appreciate some more input.
Hey...thank you.

Drew
