Subject: 1600 temperature sensor
I am a new subscriber , age 88 years.This is my first shot at asking for help.
I sold my family Jeepster ; it's stall is now occupied by a 1967 Datsun 1600
roadster,a real basket case. Progress so far-- I have put in new rings (engine
was frozen for10 years). I am surprised that I was able to get a new
temperature sensor from Nissan but need advice on how to get the failed one
out; the steel threaded sleeve( hex head) unscrewed from the head and came out
OK, but the sensor itself will not . It is brass and will not stand
strong-arm persuasion. Any magic solution,anyone?? In a long-shot
possibility I thought of trying to get at it from its rear but the casting
carrying the fillcap is stuck on it's studs(corrosion I assume) I am on dead
center ; ideas?? Joe Jackson ...rimshot@a-znet.com
