whats a good easy way to take these O2 sensors off the manifold..?

 

put it on a vice and use a big wrench to take them out. i believe, dont quote me, they are 22mm wrench. dont try using adjustable wrench cuz it will strip. if it still doesnt come out, heat it up a little. heat around the sensor, not the sensor itself. good luck

 

but how do you get the damn wrench on therein the first place.... it's a really tight fit... and due to the wires...I cant get a socket in there either....ahhh!

 

theres a special socket you can buy specifically for taking off o2 sensors, it has a slit up the side for the wires to go.

This works in some cases. however, i have an O2 sensor tool from Mac tool. I dont have the part #, but its almost like a crowsfoot wrench. It is a lifesaver. It has a square 3/8 drive hole on one end of it. I hope this helps.

PS: what engine is that off of? I did a swap this past summer for a guy and he brought me a b16 that was equipted with this stock manifold and i had never seen it. Im sure its something common just wasnt familar with what car that came off of. The engine was mated to a cable clutch.

Hope the above mentioned information reguarding the O2 sensor tool helps.
