Yes, you can do it with a regular open end wrench. It's a little bit tricky to get the wrench in there, but possible.

how can you take the manifold off w/o taking out the o2 sensor first?? you have to take the o2 sensor out, to get the manifold heat shield off, to get to the manifold bolts....no?

you can take the o2 sensor out with a wrench, tricky if you aren't using a wrench w/an offset. but if you can get a hold of an offset o2 socket, you would really be better off. they aren't that expensive and are necessary to torque the o2 sensor back to it's specs...~25ft lbs iirc.

but why torture yourself like that? just buy the socket...it's like ten bucks. why risk the frustration?
