One more piece of advice...buy 2-3 clips when you do. They're only like 50 cents apiece but they can be brittle and break easy.

Default remove circlip, remove old o-ring if it doesn't come out with sensor

install new sensor, reinstall circlip, reinstall wiring clip. Careful with the plastic clip, fvckers snap easily.
