How do i take the o2 sensor off?
1. What tool/wrench do i need for the job?
2. How do i take it off with so limited space?

I am asking because I am in the process of replacing my exhaust manifold with an aftermarket header.

Here are pics:





TIA

it screws off

Locking pliers and a big *** pipe from underneath.

un-clip it from the back then take the manifold off...then you can get a bigger wrench on it....a little effort and it will break loose

EL SARGENTE

It's a 22mm....and unclip it....and it should take much torque.....

Team 4R

just take off the manifold and use a wrench... it's really not in there that tight.

There is a special socket that you can buy to take off most o2 censors for hondas.

unplug it and remove the manifold, it's a lot easier taking it off when the manilfold is out of the engine bay

agree

can you unplug it without using the wrench by just straight up pulling it out?

what do you mean when you say "unclip it" unclip WHAT ?

nvmd I uncliped it, now i got the exhaust manifold out and i need to take the O2 sensor out. is using a 22mm wrench the only way?

It screws in. You need to turn it counter-clockwise to get it out. Righty tighty lefty loosey.

use an adjustable wrench or go buy a socket thats meant for removing o2 sensors

how much could a socket like that cost?

Luserkid

All my sockets couldnt fit around my o2 sensor. So i used a pipe wrench. Got the thing off in one turn.

what does a pipe wrench look like?

i went and bought a 22mm wrench bit the senor doesnt want to come off, it doesnt want to turn. any ideas?

oh yea how could the part where the gasket goes on the block? i want to clean it before putting on my new gasket.

Andres-eh2

Also are you talking about a exhaust manifold gasket? Because that comes right off

burningwrek

who woulda thought that installing a header could be so difficult...

just scrape away the gasket with anything hard and flat, like a paint scraper or something. just make sure you get it all off so the new gasket will seal properly.

Brake cleaner and a razor blade.

fastwanabe
