I'm trying to replace my engine temp sensor on my 06 road king. I removed the horn and unplug the sensor and I have a deep socket which I can get to go over the sensor but it seems there is no way I'll be able to then attach a socket wrench to the socket. There is nearly zero room between the end of the socket and the rear cylinder.

Anyone who has done this have any suggestions? Are there tools out there that will get into the tight space?

id rather not give a shop labor costs to replace a little sensor.

 

I changed mine without removal of the horn. I used a deep socket with a 12 inch extension. The extension has a built in wobble of 15 degrees. The hardest part for me was getting the wiring plugged back in.

 

Yup, an extension is the answer.

 

Great I'll try the wobble and extension.

 

Used one of those wobble/pivoting adapters with an extension and had it swapped out in 5 minutes.

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully someone else finds this useful as well.
