i need one to unplug my sensors so i can swap mid pipes. How did you guys do it? i kinda damaged the outer housing shown while attempting rotating it doesn't look like a big deal though

 

i just removed the sec. cats yesterday...but no need to remove the 02 sensor..

 

sorry i forgot to mention that i am fitting the Megan Racing exhaust mid pipes bellow:

 

goto any autozone or auto parts store and get an o2 sensor socket. They are about 8bucks. I believe they are 1", and they have a slit that goes all the way down the socket. Any auto parts store will know what you are talking about.

This is how i got to mine.

 

I have used an O2 Sensor tool similiar to this one, on the IS350... worked perfectly!!

 

thanks guys this really helps. It's good to know that i don't have to go to the stealership to get this done i'll just go to a reputable muffler shop rather than the pimp my ryde shop i am at LOL

 

Ok I visited all the muffler shops recommended by my friends and none has it & the dealership won’t do it (because the parts are not OEM). So I’ll have to get it. JoeZ, combfilter or anyone who’s experienced with this, could you kindly look for a link of the socket you use?

These are the first search hits I got:

bump for an update from the gents who have used the socket

 

Sorry Hamza

I don't have the tool part number or brand name handy... (I'm at work)
Its actually at a friends shop right now..

So I will have to try and dig up the info..

Any chance your local lexus tech can show you the tool and then you will know what to buy locally??

good call Joe, thanks I'll do that.

 

I already told you where I got my socket. autozone. Since you are in SA I would try giving them a call. Just because it's not online doesn't mean you can't order it from them.

 

Here you go.
