Default Knock Sensors/Valley Cover

Is there any certain way to get the knock sensors and valley cover off of the motor. I got the valley cover up about 1/2" and felt a bunch of resistence. I've still got the knock sensor wiring on it and haven't disconnected it. The motor is out, just transfering stuff to the new one.

They are a PITA but you need to unscrew the sensors with a long socket. Not sure what size it is though. Disconnect the wiring too.

Any write-ups or pictures on this? Sorry for the stupid questions, just trying not to mess up anything and cost me more money that I don't have.

why would you need a write up/pictures to stick a socket on a extension and un-screw the knock sensors?

3/4 inch socket if im not mistaken.
