Hi folks trying to change the crankshaft sensor in my lads 07 reg fiesta

its got the right electrical connector fitting but is just too wide to fit into the engine block

measured old and new ones  old = 13.45mm  new 13.78mm 

not OEM stock got it from ebay, all those on ebay look the same 

any tips, thought about freezing new one but fear it wil get stuck if I did that
