Default o2 sensor PITA
Any tips on how to get the o2 on Bank 1 side 1 off? I have pacesetter headers on it and there seems to be no room. The o2 sensor loan-a-tool autozone wrench doesnt want to cooperate and there is not much room to wrench around...Any tips? Thanks fellas.

theres no other way around it except finding a wrench that will fit, once you break it free it should be hand loose.

Jus got done,,,,I had to get a different o2 socket. Once it broke free it was smooth sailing.

You should not complain; I have to pull my passenger side header in order to remove that O2 sensor.
