Default o2 sensor help

my car has been throwing codes for the front drivers side o2 sensor. i went to autozone and bought one, jacked my car up and look under there and there is no working room. i cant get ahold of it with anything and i cant even see the thing to get at it from the top. any ideas? thanks a ton

iv never done it on a car with manifolds so i dont know who hard it is. if its like most things with these cars its gonna take the right combination of extensions and swivle arms to get to it. go back to autozone and rent the o2 sensor socket from them, it makes like so much easier, good luck man
