There was someone in the D2 section who was also having issues getting the coolant sensor removed after removing the clip, but it seemed seized in place. I'm not a mechanic, and I don't know the consequences, but what if you removed the securing clip and then turned the engine over (not starting it). Being a pressurised system, would it be enough to force the sensor out? Apart from losing a little water, and ensuring you have something above the sensor to stop it taking flight, it's a possibility.
I don't know, so please don't try it unless someone more mechanically minded could clarify it.

Ha. I did try, even I go step further, from a week I am driving without that security clip and nothing happens. Got Idea to cut out power from radiator and allow water to go up to more 90° as then pressure in cooling system should go up to high level, maybe then sensor will go out like a bullet from a gun.
