Selected User Reviews For Beck Arnley 158-0917 Knock Sensor
Trust has always been my first concern when it comes to Beck Arnley parts. In order to keep my 2004 Honda CRV running well, I buy all good parts. There are 18600 miles on the vehicle and it still drives like The Amazon Community has been very kind to me, so I thought I would give back to them with this review. In light of this, I have a couple tips for any newbies who try to do the work themselves, I am a completely newbie myself. First, spray the electrical clip with electrical cleaner with a lot of force before attempting to separate it from the old K sensor. Second, spray the inside of the connector with electrical cleaner spray before reconnecting the new sensor. Three, do not tighten new K sensor any tighter than you would a mountain bike tire "nice and tightly snug" The job took me about an hour and a half, and I used the wrench you see in my photos. You can reach up in between the starter and manifold and unscrew the old knock sensor after you've got it loose if you have a smaller hand. Once my left hand became loose, I used it as leverage as I pushed up my body to get my left arm up to the drivers side front tire with my feet on the drivers side front tire. In addition, I was a bit short due to the car being placed on jack stands. In any case, I am making this explanation because I for some damn reason could not get my right arm up to the ceiling. When I was under the car, I didn't think that it was even possible to pull the old knock sensor out by hand at some points and in other places! That is something you need to be aware of if you are doing They may be charging you $100 bucks for a job that can be completed in five It is a shame how business in general charges people these days. Keep in mind that nothing can be taken away from you but what you KNOW. It is knowing and believing that makes the difference. I KNOW you know my dear brothers and sisters, so have faith.

One word of warning if you choose to By removing the lower engine splash shield, I was able to access the knock sensor from below. I spent a lot of time removing the wire and plug from the sensor because it is a very tight access point. Using a long flat screwdriver, I was able to depress the clip and pry the plug out with a second long flat screwdriver. It was hard for me either to get the open end or the box end of the 27MM wrench on I just don't think there is Last but not least you need to tighten it by using the short socket and partially inserted ratchet, moving it one click at a time. Make sure you watch the videos on You Tube before you get started. We spent about two and a half hours on the ramps with the car. In this case, the wrench and sockets are 27MM or 1 1/16" in diameter.
It was probably one of the most complicated jobs I have ever done. It would take less than 5 minutes to replace the sensor, but it is not available. It's deep up in there, so you can access it from below on an Element. 1 out of 5 One of the best tools for the job is a slimmest, open end combo wrench, measuring 1/16" long. Usually all you need to do is crack it open so that you can turn it off with your finger. There are a few issues with the sensor connector, but other reviews have provided good pictures that help visualize what it looks like. Ensure that the contacts on the wire terminals are clean before reattachment It is a good idea to install the software. Being in exactly the right position is not easy. Just get your hand up in there and get it started can be difficult. It will give you a little more grip and longer to move that up inside. I wrapped some painters tape around the plastic terminal to give it a little more grip and length. Think about it, visualize it, then close your eyes and feel it. You can really benefit from a mechanics dolly when you are trying to figure out where to go next. I would have changed it when I changed my starter a few years ago if I had thought about this sensor then. As far as the brand, I have used other parts from them in the past with good results. I removed the manifold from the top when doing that job. Again, it took me more time to get to the part than it did to actually replace it. This was about a third of the cost of the original Honda, and other brands were even cheaper, however, I found them to be a little too cheap. It is interesting to note that Beck Arnley stuff appears to be well received on Amazon as well as other car part websites.
To remove the knock sensor plug, you will need the following items. As you probably already know, replacing the knock sensor is a waste of time and money! Having difficulty removing the knock sensor harness/plug/clip whatever you call it was the most challenging part of the process. The sensor was clipped onto the clip but I didn't see how it worked. As it turned out, the push button to release the vehicle's harness was up top (where I couldn't see it from below). The best way to accomplish this is to use a flathead screwdriver to push the plug away from the sensor, then press the clip with your hand (and you should be able to press the clip with the tips of your fingers). You can see what I mean in the attached pictures. As you can see from the first picture, the clip looks like this. As you can see from the second picture, this is how you remove it. The pictures in the above caption represent the knock sensor harness clips, but they look similar and demonstrate what must be done in order.
The performance issue was resolved by changing my code. It is tricky to install, but I have learned to put a short piece of 1/2" ID hose over the black electrical connector (may need to snip the hose if it is too small), that will give you a little more space for screwing in the sensor. The handle kind of works as a The old one! (Photo 1) I have long monkey arms, but there cannot be room for two I wish you all the best!.
