Default What size wrench for O2s?

I don't have any tools ATM, and need to swap my back O2s to the front in hopes of curing my bogging problem. I'm gonna go buy some since this is an easy job with a jack and a wrench, I was wondering what size I need for this job?

I though they were 22mm? An open end 22mm fit perfect for me. I keep forgetting that some parts of this car are standard.
