Default O2 change help!!

How do you change the passenger side o2 sensor with the stock manifolds? I have 2 different o2 sockets and none of them work since the sensor is so close to the flange that bolts to the Y pipe. Thanks

use a 7/8s open/closed end wrench. This will allow you to angle it on the flat sides of the o2. BE CAREFUL though you DO NOT want to strip out the hex end on the O2

thanks for the help. I just ended up modifying one of my o2 sockets and it worked like a charm, except the little room i have to work with. I would love a set of long tubes but i live in california and if i want it to pass smog cant have them.
