Yup it is the one right in front by the radiator as soon as you pop open the hood, i just replaced mine the other day. It's easy to get to but chances are its seized in there so make sure you have some pb blaster or something to help break it loose.
Why would any one use SAE wrench on metric sized sensor.
Also I would suggest to use a box wrench and simply slip the connector through the box/hole. Use a penetrant like PB blaster and go 1/8 turn to loosen and 1/16 turn to tighten squirt penetrant , and then increment to 1/4 : 1/8 squirt, and then 1/2 : 1/4 squirt, and then 1 : 1/2 and then take it out completely.
Borrow/loan the installing tool and tighten to spec with a torque wrench.
Why would any one use SAE wrench on metric sized sensor.
You would be surprised at tools available are actually 7/8 but universally labeled as 22mm/7/8 fitment. Advance Auto and Autozone loaner kits include only 7/8. However they do work if you happen to use one, Absolutely make sure it is fitted well on all faces of the o2 sensor. I find it easier to knock them loose when the sensor is cooling down after a drive and just unbearably warm.
The HF crowsfoot o2 tool works well because it has a split wall to pass the wire.
I really wish i would have had one of those o2 sensor removal tools i just used an adjustable wrench however for the bank 1 sensor that i need to replace i may look into one of those tools
