jackso11 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 What is the best way to get to it? from underneath? I tried from the top last night and can only get to one nut, and even that cut up the back of my hand on the turbo sheild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I managed to get at it from the top, I could only see one but could just about feel the other one with my fingers. It wasn't that difficult just a little awkward. Rachet spanners would make it easier. Difficulty rating 5/10 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 From the top easy peasy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think my hands must be bigger than yours, haha. I have a rachet spanner, took about 10 minutes to get one nut off as movement was so small.....then it started to get dark so I had to do it back up again and will try again at the weekend. I didn't think I owuld be able to reach the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 I don't have a rachet off set spanner. Will see what they have at halfords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think I just used my ratchet and an extension bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2soops Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Getting the nuts off is the easy bit, just be really careful with the wire connector, mine was very brittle and a small piece broke off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Also changed it from the top, combination of rachet and normal spanner... Bit of a mission but simple enough in the end.. I bought new nuts for the sensor as well...Old ones were stuffed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durandal Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Changed from the top although both studs came out with the nuts and I ended up cross threading the hard one to reach, breaking off the nut with the end of the stud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippery Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 From the top it is easy with socket set. Was harder to undo the clips holding the wires than getting the sensor out. Plug on mine also was brittle and part of it crumbled . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprasteve k Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Also from the top used Wd-40 on the bolts, waited 30 mins and used a long reach socket came off easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
