Hi,

I had to drill my old one out and spent some time cleaning out the hole and then had to tap the new sensor in, been carful that it was straight.

Hi Rusty,

Yep, I had a similar problem. Like Kandyman I had to drill the remains of mine out! So to answer your questions: no, you shouldn't have to force the new one in. There's probably plastic still left in the hole. I think a light smear of Copper Ease around the circumference of the new sensor is probably a very good idea.

Simon.
