Default HELP! can't swap my o2 sensor?!?!?

hey guys, my gas mileage has gone to ****, and i pulled a cel for my first o2 sensor, i had another one lying around, now i got to swap them, and my deep socket wont fit and my wrenches wont't fit because the o2 is almost into the exhaust manifold, do you all have any tricks in swapping o2 sensors, if so i would greatly appreciate it

whatever you do do not heat it.!
PB blaster it and let it sit for 30 mins and then use the tool pictured to take it out.
get your elbow greased properly before too.
when you put the new one in be sure to use some anti seize $2 at autozone/Advanced etc

thanks guys, i never even thought about asking autozone if they had a special tool for it, thats pretty sweet, and believe me, its already been pb blasted, i just got my car running today with the 60a polyurathane in the motor mounts, wow, its magical, turn in is way better and wheel hop is almost eliminated, i just need to swap out that damn o2 and my car is all good for now.....thanks guys, and i suggest doing the diy filling of 60a into your motor mounts, its ******* magical
