Coolant Temperature Sensor

[Chivas1]

Hi, Im new here and I am having trouble locating the Coolant Temperature Sensor on a 2000 Toyota Corolla (manual transmission). I got the P0115 code and have purchased the sensor but I cant locate it to change it. Can anyone please tell me where its located and if you any images that show its location.

Thanks in advance

3. Remove the five nuts and then the exhaust manifold

My understanding is that the sensor is on the drivers side of the head, and the only way to get it out is with a deep well socket, 19mm I think. Not sure what the first guy was thinking?
