You can use one of those strap jobbies, or you can get one with the cutout for the sensor, or you can get one without the cutout and cut your own cutout. I use the black one with the cutout for the sensor from Drag Specialties. Easy to use.

I got the one without the cut out and cut it out myself. It was less than half of the one with the cutout.

I bought a billet aluminum one a few years back. I found it online and it's the best one I have ever used. I have seen a few like it but I can't find the source for the one I have.

I use this one from Advanced Auto. Cost about $7 or so. It works fine for me.

I use the billet one most of the time and have the Snap-On strap wrench for the stubborn ones.
