I have a feeling that by the time you get everything out of the way to get to the sensor with whatever magical elf you have at your disposal, that it will have been faster to remove the UIM replace, or relocate the sensor and then reinstall the UIM. Just sounds like the hard way to do things personally. I've had my UIM off and back on over 50 times by now and would put it on the same difficulty level as changing a tire.

I agree 100%. I can confidently say that I can remove/replace the UIM in like 20 minutes.

Yes. That's what was beautiful about the rotary...simplicity. After working on your car for a while you realize that with you can remove most everything down to the short block very quickly.
