knock sensor help

[Limbo]

Hi guys having problems removing my knock sensor from my b16a.
I've put a No. 27 socket on the sensor but it doesn't go on for some reason. It seems like the metal coolant pipe on the block is in the way, anyone got any ideas? It seems to make the socket too thick. Tried it on another b16 block but its not in the way

I've had it on the hoist but can't get to it from top or bottom

try it with an open spanner + rubber mallet. if your buddies at the workshop don't have it in that size their like $20 at supercheap

yeah its getting to the knock sensor, just enough room only just to put the socket on it. No room for a spanner in there at all

Fatboyz - i was hoping not to do that.

[fatboyz39]

its the only way.
