Default Suggestions for accessing the driver side EGT sensor, what all needs to be removed?

I assume it is easier to change from the top not the bottom with the car on a lift?

Default It is easier from the top.

You have to remove the heat shield, and with some creative use of flare nut wrenches, it comes out.

Default I just did mine......

I have a TIP so I removed the secondary airpump before I started. Pull the coolant tank back, no need to remove it or disconnect anything on it except the level sensor. I have piggies so my heat shields have been removed. That is the key, those things are a pain. I used a standard 17mm wrench to lossen it up, then a shorty to turn it another 1/8 turn or so. After that it came out by hand. Less than an hour start to finish. Again the heat shields being removed are the key. Good luck.
