It was a little bit difficult Once the car was up on the lift you should cut the Wire off of the Knock Sensor and then spray the Knock sensor with Rustoleum spray to help loosen up the rust a bit. Then let it sit a couple of minutes and wait for the Rustoleum spray to settle in then you need to find the right size wrench i think it was a 15/16 Wrench it was a pretty big size or just use a 24MM And loosen it up a bit. Oh and as far as connecting the Plug. To make it easier i tied a Wire to the Old Knock Sensor plug from the top of the car underneath the hood and just pulled it don underneath the car and then i untied it and tied the new Wire onto the new Knock sensor Plug Wire and pulled it up from up top so i would scrape my Knuckles an spend hours trying to fish it threw. It save me Hours doing that. Oh and for the Oil sending Unit It was aggravating because you cant use a Socket so i had to use a wrench and Slowly turn it for about 15 to 20 minutes until it finally came off and Whala it was done right after i installed the new one.! Anti Seize helps too
