Re: knock sensor help

i got the bitch off!

i sprayed a little liquid wrench and put the socket on. then to get some leverage i took another socket with 2 extesions on it and put it at the bottom of the ratchet. gave me just enough leverage.

next thing to replace is my speed sensor. i have a check engine for it. i had my friends garmin in last night and my speedo is off by 3-4 mph faster then what i'm realy going.
