im installing my uppipe on saturday and i need to get the o2 sensor unscrewed so i can remove the heatshield. i heard theres a special wrench or wrench head that is designed for the o2 sensor so it's easier to remove.

any idea were i could by something like that?

 

just use a 7/8" wrench. There's not enough room to use an o2sensor socket.

 

if you dont care for the heatshield, just dremel or use a cutter to cut it off.

 

i bought mine at autozone

 

i didnt know there was an up pipe o2 sensor

 

there isnt . . . its located on the manifold, not the uppipe

 

The best way is to cut the heat shield. I used a hack saw and wire cutters to cut out a notch in the heat shield so it would come off without removing the o2 sensor.

 

There is if you get the right type of O2 sensor tool:

its an EGT sensor on the up.

 

matco 1/2 drive o2 socket works great, i lil pricey though
