Damn dude, I'd recommend you look into some nitrile gloves
We remove that bracket on every FD we work on, it's a pita to work around and useless.
The plier method should work for ya.

that is pretty funny because I went through EXACTLY what you are right now. I had trouble installing the replacement sensor because of that stupid bracket (what is it?, I didn't even bother to check). Mine was tough because the zip tie end was hitting so it wouldn't screw in. Once I got it in, like you, the wire was too short. This was fine because my wire broke from the connector and I was repairing it anyways so I just added length and shielded the wire. I had a lot more headache even after all this when my problem (CEL) didn't go away. Turns out the replacement sensor was bad.
and I need to get a pic of what my old one looked like, lol...didn't have half the stuff that yours has inside it (the old one).

yep, pretty simple design. The resistor that you can see is what went bad on mine.
