  • Anyone have an Oxygen Sensor Socket I can use?

    As the title reads looking for an oxygen sensor socket I can use. For the amount of time it should take I'll swap it out at your place so it will never leave your sight Would like to do it this weekend if I could.

    Thanks in advance

    I always just use a 21(?)mm open ended wrench and never have problems

      I always use a combination 24mm bow wrench, this spray stuff called liquid wrench if its in good and some good old fashion muscles to get it out. Spray the liquid wrench on a few times and it works fantastic. Other options if that doesn't work is use a torch to quickly heat up just the downpipe bung and hope it expands enough to beak the tight seal. Either way the fancy tool is not usually required unless you have to go up to breaker bar sized extensions

        You can get the socket at princess auto for super cheap if you want to just buy one too.

          You can also try a crowfoot wrench or flare-nut wrench. I've heard of those working before.
          As mentioned, princess auto has O2 sensor wrenches for cheap

            I have a Pathfinder and the only way this can be done is with a socket, will be buying one tomorrow.
