Default KV6 temp sensor.. removal question

Hi to all.. question r.e the temp sensor that sits near the thermostat.. is there a way to remove/replace without removing the manifolds.
I've only just had them off to change the stat so the idea of removing all again isn't appealing to me at the minute.
Can I get at it from the side?

Cheers Andy

Why do you want to replace the sensor? Is it giving unrealistic figures on the gauge/diagnostic screen.

Yes, I have done it without taking the manifolds off.

I might have had to remove the throttle body. And it was a bit tricky, but possible. Can't remember what tool I used though.

Cheers. Yes I think if the throttle body comes off it should be just about doable
