crank sensor replacement...... hints!!!!! 200

Hi,

I like all the advice. This little bugger must be quite a challenge sometimes.

So far I've been fortunate, not to have one frozen solid in place. I reach with my left hand under the heater pipe and use a stubby box wrench. I'd try a gear wrench if I had one, but I suspect after first breaking the bolt loose, it would not be tight enough to operate the ratchet, and there is definitely room for only one hand in there. Just did this again last weekend.

It is true you can't see and do it at the same time, so get a good look first. Maybe you've seen the pictures of all the room in the 740, but here's what it looks like in your model.
