Ok, tried to replace both the sensors today. Using a crow's foot from a local store, (spanner head with 3/8 drive connector), and several extensions, u-joint and some piping that was lying around.

 

Spent about an hour on the pass side as I'd read that was easiest, then removed bonnet to make life a little easier.

 

Anyhow got fed up with that, so had a go at the drivers side and managed to do it!!! Spent the rest of the afternoon failing with the pass side again.

 

My spanner doesn't move much then seems to get wedged against the nuts on the manifold - that or it slips off. Taking extension straight up. I think the only pipe left to remove is the A/C one so left that well alone.

 

Any pearls of wisdom??

 

Zed is back together at the mo and running OK so at least I haven't broken anything yet :D

 

Thanks,

James

If you wanna pop round on Saturday mate I can give you a hand, we'll sort that AC out as well.

thanks mate, going to have another go tomorrow :D Might try your technique with the angled wrench and scaffolding pole!!

LOL, I used the support for an axle stand rather than a scaffold pole :D

Hoorah, with the aid of AndyP's crow foot and a friendly builders bit of scaffolding I got the passanger one off too.

 

Going to fill her up now and see what my mpg is like :D
