Can't get a solid hit on the knock sensor. Even before it spun on me the hex on is is so round and tapered by design that a socket just doesn'twant to grip very well. And I am even afraid to do a solid hit on the undamaged temp sensor for fear of rounding. Guess I am gonna have to got over that and just do it.... then perhaps try the heat and channel locks on the knock sensor. I'll let you guys know what transpires when I get a chance to get at it.
