2007 Acura TL-S - Need help changing the AT pressure switch under the intake

I got myself a 2007 TL-S. Reading through the threads, I realized that it's best to have the transmission serviced. So, I did the 1/3 drain and fill with OEM ATF. No problem. I also tried to replaced the pressure switches. I got the right parts, and replaced the one next to the driver's side wheel, and the one next to the firewall. Space was pretty tight, but I managed to get them swapped out. But the one under the intake seems to be too difficult. The intake's lower box seems to be very hard to remove, and even beyond that, there is this huge metal bracket sitting right on top of the pressure switch. There is no way to contort my arm through all that hardware to touch the sensor (although I can clearly see half of it), let alone working a ratchet in that space. How to proceed and remove all that stuff? Please help. I read through the oft-quoted link (https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...2008-a-840630/) but the pictures for the 2nd sensor are missing...

Personally, while changing this pressure switch I removed upper transmission mounting. Only then I could get to the switch.

The upper transmission mounting... is that the metal bracket that sits right on top of this pressure switch (and right underneath the intake air filter)?
