Question any Trick to get knock sensor in???

There is a metal bracket/plate that limits the room to work with the knock sensor. Any tricks to getting the new sensor "in"?

What about putting it into the rear? Other than having to splice the wire, is there any other downside?

Thanks

It doesn't have to be that tight, just hand thread it in then give it a quick snug with a wrench.

If all else fails, I don't really think it will effect much being in the rear rotor housing.

Thanks.

It's the "angle" of getting it to go in. A metal bracket for who knows what is just at the edge of the end of the sensor making it hard/impossible to turn into the hole.

We'll take our time and see. . .
