Default Bank 1 Sensor 1 removal

Hello

I have been trying to get the Bank 1 sensor 1 removed and replaced, but I have not yet been able to get the factory sensor off.

I was hoping someone that has done this replacement before could help me.... I can get to it, but then spacing becomes an issue. I have been using a 22 MM wrench with no success, and was thinking of possibly cutting the factory wiring off of the sensor and using a 22 MM socket.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
