Did this last fall. Found it to be a PITA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Like about stated I took a 13mm deep socket and cut a slot in it for the wire. I used a little grease to hold the washer on the sensor. The socket with a swivel head on it and was able to get it in.
In the past I found it just easier to pull the intake runners to do it. I didn't need to remove them completely just held them up enough to be out of the way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
