Default sc400 o2 sensor install :(

I'm attempting to replace both MAIN o2 sensors. I got the drivers side no problem. However I can't seem to get the passenger side out. I can't get the wrench in there. Do I need to purchase an o2 sensor socket?

While I haven't done it myself, I've read posts here that say definitely spend the $20 (?) for the O2 tool..it'll be worth it.

BTW, how's the V8 hold up w/ that NOS?

I intend to hold out until I have the funds to go for a supercharger, but 150 'cheap' horses is verrrrry appealing.

Its killer. The extra power is great. Make sure to turn off TRAC before spraying though. The tranny has a hard time keeping up so I have to manualy shift as well.

Great bang for the buck

Sweet!!! What I like specifically about NOS vs turbo/supercharge is that my wife can get in & drive it with no adverse affect or suprises!

Have you taken it to the track?

Thanks, BTW did u get the O2 complete? A couple weeks ago I lubed up all the parts under the car in preparation to replace worn parts.. it helped being proactive on the fuel filter change, and I figure I should do the O2 sensors as well. No codes, but I think my 11 yr old car would run better

TTeg, if you don't have an answer yet on the O2 and want me to move this to maintenance forum to see if VVT-I can help let me know via PM
