Heat. Maybe let the car run up to temperature and try then.

You can get special sockets, they look like plug socket with a slot in them for the sensor wire.

That's just my b****y luck gone and broke one of the white wires off the sensor !!!!! and to short to resolder, got the sensor out though after lots of heat and brute force .. Now another question are the sensors the same as I have one that came with a rear manifold off a 180 I was given a while back 4 wires as well . Just been on Rimmers and got a right fright on costs of new one , anyone got suggestions ..
Thanks

splice an extra piece of wire in,or go scrappy raiding like i have done in the past the sensors on pretty much all the modern rovers seem to be the same its just the plug that is different and then its just a case of swapping the plugs with a bit of solder and shrink wrap.six seven years later and no problems
