Author Message   Essthreetee Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 12:34 am:        Is there a trick to getting to the Damnned thing?!?! Short of pulling off the header??? It is on a 2002 S3T...It is in exactly the WORST place it could be...1/4 turn more to the rear and a piece of cake...but where it is?!?!?!?!!? Any tips????   Mbsween Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 08:12 am:        Ess, A crowsfoot works wonders, it will let you get the 1/8 turn you need to loosen it, then it comes out pretty easy the size you need is 7/8" I agree with the placement issue, it was a bear the 1st time I took it off.

Jason   Kinger Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 09:31 am:        Ess, He is correct. The crowsfoot will make it easy. I used mine with two extensions coming towards the left side of the bike. Place the wrench on the sensor from below, open end up, it will save some time. Just changed mine last week.   Iamike Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 11:07 pm:        Buy a sensor socket   Gjmcmanus Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 11:18 pm:        If all else fails....   Essthreetee Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2005 - 01:03 am:        Iamike.....THANK YOU!!!!! Boy I feel like an IDIOT...I was totally thinking that someone should invent a socket that had a groove cut into it or something...Guess they already did. I couldn't get the crowsfeet to work...I WAS PISSED!!!...I thought I must be an idiot. I REALLY didn't want to take the bike back to the dealer JUST to have to sensor changed (45 miles one way)....Thanks again everyone.}
