anyone know how the hell to get the 02 sensor out of the drivers side front. its the one before the cat, on the drivers side. i bought a crows foot, stubby wrench, nothing fits in there and i cant just change 3 sensors. i just cant get it to move. i know its 22mm im looking for a special move or tool here.

im driving 200 miles round trip at 3 and i need this out. would it be a problem to drive it if i only replaced the other 3?

my hands are cut and burned from the exhaust and undercarraige. im in a rush and i just drove the car. please help my sorry ass

unsure what you mean. I was able to remove it on the way to las vegas on the side of the road. i used a short crescent wrench and a pair of pliers so that as it twisted up i could hold it in place. the wire twists up as you unscrew it and when you take the wrench off sometimes it just screws it self part way back in.

are you saying its on too tight? spray a little liquid wrench, on a COMPLETELY cool truck.

USE MECHANIX GLOVES!!!!!!!

yeah i got burned on the tops of my hands haha. oh well. i finally got it out using a regular 22mm open end closed end. go figure i need to get a nice craftsman toolset but seeing as how im 18 and in college, money is preventing me from having the right tools. i need to sell this d2, its eating my wallet for breakfast. oh well. today is rear rotors and pads.

then its off to the shop for abs issues. i'm begging this thing to not have the lights on for at least a month or two.
