   see on your original oil filter when you removed the 3 or 4 bolts to take it off. the sensor will be attached to it still . so you unscrew it and move it to the block so it works the same. otherwise if you don`t your oil light will be on all the time. hope that made sence

    there`s like a bolt in place. it just unscrews but its quite tight. i used mole grips to get it out. and your sensor will just screw in place.
