Removal

Slacken off the snap ring around the mounting on the sensor slightly. Insert a narrow screwdriver or wedge. Press one end of the snap ring in approximately 10 mm. Press radially backwards in the groove in the snap ring.
Pull out the sensor slightly and disconnect the connector. Remove the sensor and the O-ring.
