I finally have my new knock sensor and now i need to remove the old one to change it. The size of the bolt is 12mm but i need to know wich tool can reach the bolt easyly?

For thoses who change their K.S themself, which tools have you used to do it?

 

www.motorvate.ca has all the answers you seek.

 

One hint, use ALL 1/4" ratchets/swivels/sockets.

 

motorvate tells u nothing about the tools u'll need

 

Is a single 12" extension long enough, or will I need more?

 

Find someone with small hands, 5min. job!!

 

For thoses who done this themselves, what tools have you use?

I tried today with a 3/8 drive long ratchet with a head you can move and wasen't able to do it.

 

MARCGXE95 you all totaly right!!! man i was like a phyco with this job...before my mom arrives from the mall....she saw me so crazy and told me "may i help you" after that...she just put her small hands and remove the ks less than 4 min....man!!!

 

I used a 3/8 rachet and 12mm shallow socket....got pics of my bloody fingers if you want to see. Tip: bend metal gaskets between the heads and block... no more cuts.

 

Here good site that tells you the tools needed and how to do it.

 

really have someone with small hands and have them take it out.. i did it myself.. and i was done taking it out and putting the new one in .... n about 5-8 mins.. very very easy and all you will need a 12mm nut and the wrench of course that's all i used

 

Thanks all!! Specialy for inj3n, man you got the answer i wanted!

 

np man

 

I finally change the old one and the difference is day and night during acceleration!! No more cut in acceleration and the car just pull like a new one!!

I use a 3/8 drive ratchet, 2 longs extensions (about 10" each) and a box joint 12mm. Remove the air filter box to the throttle body to have enough room and that's it.

Oh and i just have one cut on hands
