Is it necessary to remove the intake housing to replace the CPS? Is there an easier way to replace it? heck! it's only a piece of wire and there should be nothing to it, a screw on one end and connector on the other...right? I've spent a couple of hours last night looking for a way to reach the side connector and I could'nt even see it. And I used a mirror and lites to peek through the crevices. Has Anyone changed this sensor before and did you find an easier way to do it? Otherwise this is a real bear to replace. M44, E36, '98 318ti
