Done as part of eliminating the Coolant By-Pass Valve and its rat's nest of hoses. I had the same issue with a stuck-on thermostat housing. I don't remember this issue when doing this job twice on my 2000 which used Saab Blue Coolant. Effect of DexCool maybe?
I did the temp sensor on a cold evening last winter without draining the coolant. I borrowed a Cummins Diesel Engine Valve Train Wrench from a neighbor (a VERY deep offset 3/4-inch box end wrench) and lost only a cup or so of coolant on the garage floor. Kitty Litter to the rescue to clean up the mess! The wrench worked so good I bought an old used one of my own for future jobs.
