OK, I didn't see the question in your title the first time.

You don't tile the engine to change that. That would require unbolting numerous motor mounts which is more work than changing the sensor. It has to be done where it is.

I know you're looking from some secret way to make this real easy but there is none. You just have to use extensions and swivels that will help you with access. It's not an easy one to reach but we have to deal with this kind of stuff every day and I have the bloody arms to prove it.
