okay so last week I was driving around in town, came to a red light, took off and got a pinging when I shifted. during driving it only occurred under very light throttle. by the time I made it home, she threw a code. grabbed the scan tool, pulled it, and it was a knock sensor failure. Cleared it, and to no surprise it came back. So I'm picking up a knock sensor tomorrow or the day after. I've changed them before on a lift, from underneath. and it was a b*tch. I am just wondering if there is a way that's somewhat easy.
The way I did it was drain the oil, pull the oil filter, intake support bracket, got the correct sized wrench and shaved the fatter side of the open end down a bit so it was skinnier to achieve that little extra swing just to break it free. Once that was done it was free going and easy. This time, I'll probably just be under the car that's only jacked up 6 inches and on my back lol. So if anyone's done this in an easier fashion "pulling the intake doesn't count" I'm all ears.
Thanks ahead of time!
