Tips on putting knock sensor in? (without losing a hand)

I am trying desperately to put this damn thing in because I gotta leave for a trip. Any tricks/tips for getting it in? I don't have time to take the intake manifold off and am ripping my hands apart trying to get the thing off.

Get a 5 year old to do it!! J/K bend the metal head gasket over so it wont cut you, it worked for me.

Lol, thanks. I just got done doing it and guess what cut me . I think Nissan makes sure that everything around the knock sensor is sharp just so people will take it to the dealer. Car works great BTW.
