Anyone got any tips for removing the coolant temp sending unit at the back of the head. Mine is really close to the valve cover and I can't get a socket on it. I don't have the right angle for a wrench or a pair of channel locks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen guys who used a Dremel to trim the valve cover just enough to put a socket on it.
