It's possible on a TR4, so it may be on the 6.  

First,  disconnect the wire from the sensor.

Second, use an offset screwdriver to remove the 6 screws.  

Third, carefully break up the cork, not dropping any in the tank.

Fourth, procure a ribbed-rubber seal instead of a cork one.  I got mine
from Vicky Brit.

Fifth, stretch the rubber seal around the sensor and put into place.

Screw it all back together.

Budget lots of time.  None of this is outrageously difficult, even for a
klutz like me, but it is SLOW.
