Default Trying to remove frisbee please help

Hey guys, what is the key to removing the frisbee? How do i keep it from turning? I just have basic tools here. Also, i was looking at relocating my MAT sensor, its screwed into the manifold in the back i know, but how do you relocate it? I mean it looks to be a metal pipe attached to it, i dont even see any wires on it, how would you relocate something like that.

Easiest way is if you know someone with an air ratchet. If not, try putting wrench on it and smacking wrench sharply to break bolts loose. I have an air compressor, so it went pretty easy on mine. Good luck Rich

Wedge a large screwdriver between two of the bolts and loosen the other two. Turn the pulley and repeat.

Sure you are not looking at the steel fitting where the brake booster line screws into the plenum? Look further under the plenum, youll see it on the very bottom with the wires. To relocate it and expect power gains, meh.

I'M not sure WHYyou would want to do this but if you HAVE to relocate it buy a kit (about 35.). It will come w/rubber gromet, new sensor, and new 3' long wiring harness, and directions.
The original will have 2wires coming from it and a weather pack connecter. You will need to cut a 3/4" hole in the air box, find the harness end to old MAT(you can leave the old one in the intake), connect to new harness and new sensor, run the new harness between valve cover and runners, push into gromet and , done.
