Default Knock sensor

Hi I just ordered a new knock sensor for my 96 turbo 2000 import. Whats the best way to replace it?. Will I have to remove anything else to get to it? or can I get to it without removing anything else?. And can I use the same bolt that was in the old knock sensor, for the new sensor?


Cheers



Lee

Oh and what size socket will I need.

socket is either 12 or 14mm, u can use same bolt, just remove it, d/c it and refit new, straight swap. shud b located passenger side of engine looking at it, at the bk of the block. shouldnt have to remove anything.
