I'm trying to change out the sensor but I can't reach the bolts on the side. Is there an easier way to get it off? I can't tell but it looks like a couple of bolts on the side on the driver's side of the bottle or does the sensor unscrew or pop out? The manual isn't much help on this. Thanks

The bottle is such a pain in the ass. It supposedly slides out by itself but I squirted a ton of penetrating oil and then wiggled and pulled it out.

pull very hard, then curse, then pull hard again, and it will "pop" off its slide... so hopefully you have not removed the overflow cap like I did and wind up with coolant all over your face.
