986 oil temp/level sensor replacement

My 2001 S oil temp sensor was not working so I took off the resonance tube and the throttle body. I got the old sensor loose with a 19 mm wrench and pulled it out. I had to bend it to get it free of the intake manifold. It broke. Is there any way to install the new sensor without removing the manifold? I assume that the old one was brittle after 23 years and 188,000 miles. Can I warm the new sensor to make it more flexible? Has anybody done this? Also found a vacuum leak on the flapper shaft bearing on the resonance tube.
