Took about 1.5 hours to get the bits and pieces off the top and the sensor loose. Will finish replacing the sensor tomorrow and continue the to do list. Think I'll be tightening the steering box also while its easy to get to.

don't be discouraged when you only get to two items on the list. it is still a big accomplishment when you realize you are not a mechanic. I started last saturday to change the rear diff fluid and grease the driveshaft splines and it took me till 3pm by then i was exhausted from the heat and started drinking beer.
