Basically drill a hole into it but not all the way through then smack a torq into it so it is tight as poss, then remove all elecs from round it, then heat up all the way round it with a blow torch tryin your hardest not to heat up the sensor, when youve got it at a decent temp, quickly get some lighter fluid in a can and spray it on the sensor( it may sound stupid but this works and the gas doesnt ignite as it needs a naked flame) then quickly try and undo the sensor | |

oh right your inlet is on, as for freezing you can get those pc cleaning air sprays, turn it upside down and voila | |

You wouldn't get metal filings in the water. Don't drill all the way through it. | |

There's stuff you can get from Homebase and the like for freezing pipes during plumbing work. Called artic freeze I think. It'll be down amongst copper pipes and plumbing stuff somewhere. :thumbs: | |

heating the surrounding area causes it to expand... if the bolt is cooler, hey presto | |
