Anyone have any quick tips for replacing the knock sensor while the motor is in the car...besides "good luck man" lol

I got the code for it, I know it needs to be replaced. I dont have an intake mani bracket in so thats not in the way. I just wanna know of any thing before I tackle it so I dont get pissed off haha.

 

Very doable. Better have skinny arms.

 

it can be done. just be patient and take your time. helps to have a small buzz going. good luck im sure u will be fine

 

LOL ^ Good advice, I dont drink at all, but with all the sh*t Ive been thru with this car the past year I shoulda been in and out of rehab 3 times.

There's your best bet.

 

Wooord I has one of them, other thing I was thinkin was a 22mm o2 sensor socket

 

can also try a pair of vice grips. thats what i used to break it loose. then just screwed it out.

i know what u meen about rehab. my evo is the biggest pain in my as$ but there is no way i could live without her lol

 

I tried a few different things when I had to change mine because the cable was fraying (the outer ground shielding anyway) right where it comes out of the sensor. The crowsfoot is prob going to be your best and easiest way, unless you have a Shorrttt wrench (as in customized via torch or cutting wheel) that fits but there's still stuff in the way for it to get on it like how it should be on it. Or use the type of socket that has the slit down the side for the wire or make your own with a cheap socket.
