IIRC you can remove the part that is in the way, I think it can be done without doing this though  :undecided:

this the one with the big plastic inlet manifold in the way ? iirc i slacken them with a normal spanner from going in through the undernieth of the inlet and then put the plug socket on and wind out with fingers , sometimes you can get a flexi joint on the ext bar and socket in there , but there are a pain to do !
