open end wrench that can take off downstream o2 sensor?



open end wrench that can take off o2 sensor?

I dont want to buy a specialized socket if i have a wrench thay can do it
Thx
 
Harbor freight has an o2 socket for less than 10 bucks, tho you can usually get it off without a special one.
 
I used a standard combination wrench when I put mine back in during my header install. Some O2 sensor bungs have a protector ring welded in place around them. Ours don't. That's the only reason I can see needing the special socket. Only if you can not physically get a wrench around it.

If I'm wrong I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in. Just going on my experience.
 
7/8th, hit the end of wrench with a hammer to tighten it, then hit with hammer to loosen it, piece of cake.
 


I'm putting 2 o2 extenders on for my hi flo zzp stainless 3 inch catted dp. I got a code sayin the downstream was burnt right after i put on my hi flo magnflow dp. Hope the o2 still works after putting the o2 extensions on!

Sure, you can get it with a wrench. IIRC it's a 7/8's. Might do better if you have a short wrench. I replaced the one on my 00GT with just a wrench. Best chance of getting it out is to soak it w/ PB Blaster for a day or 2 then try and remove it while the manifold is still slightly warm (assuming you are talking about the upstream 02 sensor).

Yea im talkim bout the downstream. im going to put o2 sensor extensions because of the hi flo cat

In my experience, having the correct closed end wrench is the best way to remove them. Of course you remove them when replacing, so I cut the end off to slip the closed end over it.

Always used a 7/8ths wrench to take off the downstream o2 off. As for the upstream, if you ever need to do it, rent the special socket from AAP
