Sorry need a little hand here. I just bought mine last week. Tried to do it myself but I figured I'm gonna need a lift so I asked one of our local shops and they said they don't want to take out the o2 sensor with the special tool for it, rather they want to unplug it from the inside. It's gonna cost me like $300 for labor. Is there any certain way to take off the o2 without doing all that work?. They don't wanna take it out from the bottom coz they're afraid that they might damage the sensor or the wiring.
I would go to the auto store and just buy the tool my self. the pic is below. I get why, its to avoid spinning the wires and having them split but its unnecessary since the o2 sensor really only has about 4 thread turns and can come out with out doing that. They can just use a regular 17 wrench

when your screwing it back in, spin it in the same direction you took it out so that when you put it back, the wires straighten out. other than that,it should be as easy as unscrewing any bolt

Hey bro i used the same one and it messed but the bolt and wires.
Try to use this one or bring it to a shop and ask them to loose it.
Make sure you lift your car high enough so you have enough leverage. less leverage might damage the corners on O2 bolt. Mine spun few times. Don't buy from O-reilly. Their tool ( big one) will definitely damage your O2 bolt. This one has less play and wires are safe.
