Posted on Thursday, August 08, 2013 - 01:40 pm: Edit Post Delete Post View Post/Check IP Print Post Move Post (Custodian/Admin Only) Ban Poster IP (Custodian/Admin only) I'm going to swap out my engine temp sensor soon, and I was wondering if a 1/2" crows foot wrench will fit in there and let me remove it. Or do I need to slot a 1/2" deep socket? Thanks all! | ||

Haven't changed an ETS on an XB yet, but if it is anything like the available clearance in an X-1, the answer is no re the crows foot. Just get an elcheapo 1/2in deep socket and slot it. Or get one from Al at American Sport Bike when you get the temp sensor. Hope this helps, Dave | ||

Ur gonna need a slotted 1/2 in socket. Cheapest way is to get a cheap one from auto zone for 2 bucks and cut out the groove urself. | ||

Autozone 1/2 deep socket it is! Thanks guys! | ||

Make sure there are no sharp edges left from the slotting operation that could damage the insulation on the wire. Keith | ||

Like this:  From Jegs - but every tool shop sells similar sockets for oxygen sensors - less than $15 | ||

I used a crow's foot for my 2008 Ulysses. Here is what I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0074HNLQM/ref=oh _details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The sensor was 7/8" on my XB12X. I just noticed you said engine temperature sensor and I was talking about an oxygen sensor. Regardless the crow's foot did the job. (Message edited by lyonne on August 11, 2013) | ||

Thanks for the advice all! I bought a 1/2" deep socket from Autozone for $4, and I'm going to dremel and file a slot into it. When I'm in there I will see if a crow's foot would work as well, and post here. Just in case anyone else was wondering. | ||

A crows foot won't work, the sensor is slightly recessed. |
