I know how you feel. It took me a long time to learn how to attach pictures to my posts.
That sensor is not in there very tight. You should be able to take something like a slightly oversized drill bit or an easy out and just get enough bite on it to undo it.

if you cant find the sensor like i couldnt you can put a m12x1.25 oil drain plug bolt in the hole it is the same thread and pitch, then you can just ground the wire for the level sensor and the light stays off
