What about swarf and rust going down the hole?
Suggestions to prevent the new sensor seizing in the hole?

I'm sure these points have been raised on the forum before, but I've been unsucessful in searching for answers.
I used a socket large enough to sit over the sensor allow it to pull through. I then used a large washer with a smallish centre hole on top of the socket and screwed in a long self tapping screw. It worked a treat, pulling out the sensor with no problems. I just added a few spacer washers at intervals to ensure the screw didn't penetrate too far.
