This D16z6 motor. Um..my question is how do I take out plug it's from the 02 sensor from the long string plug?

<U>I BELIEVE</U> what you want is to unplug the entire O2 sensor unit so you can remove it from the car. You follow the cord from the top of the O2 sensor itsself and it should lead into the floor board at some point. there is a *bung* there that just pops out that allows you to access the plastic connector. then just pinch and pull apart.

Flat head screwdriver. Put it inbetween the plastic ridges in the moldings and turn the handle. GL!

On most of those plastic plugs there is a clip underneath that you have to push down on and then slide the plug off and then you can disconnect the o2.

Aha, I see you're going through with previous thread.

Yeah, plastic clip is sometimes a pain. Got the exhaust manifold heat shield off yet? :-)

dude hose it down with some penetrating oil of some kind and let it marinade 4 a few. go burn one or take a nap under the car. i have a o2 socket its huge u can get a deep well thats just deep enuff and take a grind wheel and slit the side of the socket so the connector and wire hang out.

dorkjoey

any other ideas beside grind and socket?

Remington

big *** wrench?? just sack up and do it it's gonna suck but hit it with the pb blaster, let it sit and take the wrench to er, if grinding on the socket worries you, either get a cheapo one you don't care about and cut it or just get the O2 socket

the longer the wrench the eaiser. or put two wrenches together to make one long one.

Remington

big *** pipe works too, but really it shouldn't be too hard if you let some penetrating oil set in first

dorkjoey

alrighty thanks again.

if your going to be replacing the sensor just cut the top off so its just the hex in the bug. then you can put a shallow 7/8 on it.
