What is this?
What on earth is this sensor, and what's the best way to remove it? I tried to get a wrench on it, doesn't seem to want to work.

It's tucked up under the oil filter pedastal, if that helps. Kinda up and to the right of the plugs on the rear rotor.

Any particular size wrench to get it off, or just kinda find something that works and go with it?
