O2 sensor question

[metallicasho]

I am replacing my o2 sensors next week, and I have a question. Do I need one of those special sockets with the slot in it, to remove and replace the o2 sensors? Like the one on the this SHOtimes page . If I need one where can I get one other than Auto Zone.

Thanks,
Mike

yeah, you need it....... any auto parts place should have it

For the ATX front sensor you can do it without the O2 socket, but unless you're dropping the y-pipe, the rear will be easiest with the socket. You can buy the socket for about $10, or you can borrow it for free with AutoZone's loan-a-tool program where you just leave a deposit while you borrow the tool.

On the MTX I didn't have any problem removing the O2's by disconnecting the connector and using a box end wrench.

Edit: I did have the y-pipe out while doing this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think i'll just borrow one from Auto Zone.
