The clips you have to clamp to make the "clip" end go over the other bit.
If you get me,lol.

I just replaced them for proper fuel hose jubilee clips, much easier.

As for the temp sender, maybe drill through it with a thinner drill bit than the hole, and then see if you knock the rest of the sensor through the hole

Make sure its a proper fuel hose clip, because normal ones tend to dig into the hose and it can split after a while.

CAn you not get a small set of pliers on the end of the sensor, inside the inlet?

Oh dear

Had it off already, nothing seemed to come out. Just when putting it back on, I broke it
