It's difficult to get a wrench or socket on it due to where it's located (it requires 1 1/2" wrench or socket if I remember correctly), but it is doable without dropping the t case. The part of the switch that actually protrudes into the case is only about a half inch long. So again, there's enough room to remove and replace it without dropping the case. It is a bit of a pain though.

Drop the x-member down on a jack a couple of inches and that will make it much easier. Careful of the exhaust pipe and O2 sensor wires getting a bit stretched though
