Okay, so I have an '04 Chevy Impala LS, the bank 2 knock sensor needs replaced. The mechanic shop I am currently using says that the transmission has to be dropped to get to it. My former mechanic, who took months and months to do anything, said you can get it off with a crow's foot wrench. I'd rather not pay $700+ to replace a $20 sensor. So does anyone know a decent mechanic, that can get the knock sensor off without dropping the transmission?

I’ve done the knock sensors on my 06 truck twice. Yours doesn’t look to bad and I’d do it myself and use the saved money to buy a new gun. Your 04 shouldn’t be much different

His is a 3800 and it's on the back of the engine wedged between the engine and the transmission. You need a modified crowfoot or a swivel and socket and some patience. If he doesn't turn wrenches often, this is not a DIY project for him.
