Knock sensor
I have a 95 GLE replacing the knock sensor without removeing the intake manifold is close to impossible. The sensor was removed long ago and ground is very corroded. Can I insall the sensor in a sensible place with good ground to make it work. Please help someone.....

Well if you notice the location of the sensor, it is in the middle of both cylinder banks because it needs to detect pinging from the cylinders in order to adjust timing. Where else can you move it to accomplish this same task?

I've got an SE trim and its an auto, but replaced mine luckily when I had to replace the oil gasket. Whats really a beech is the stupid EGR solenoids that have the bolts on the bottom off to the side of the opening between the block.

Flex wrench or a crow foot wrench. The bolt (nut, actually) comes off easy. But I only have one on my 96 CA spec...

Removing the IM and properly torquing the KS down makes sense, considering it's function.
On the flip side, I'm auto and did mine without removing the IM with no hassle. Using a jack handle as leverage. Done it 2x this way.

OP, have you read this thread http://forums.maxima.org/4th-generat...-tutorial.html
KS removal is not that difficult, just be prepared to come out with a few small cuts on your hand
