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

 

They do make a socket for that purpose that has a cutout in it....

 

They do make a socket for that:

I used a 14" pipe wrench. It worked great!!

 

thanks I appreciated it, I will try the "14 pipe wrench and see if that works, if not I will try to get the O2 socket at advance auto parts.

again thanks a lot
