Read Oxygen Sensor Change

[murky024]

Alright, so I know you have to take the coil pack off, that is easy... But how do I get at that stupid sensor then?! I have a '95, 2.5, Auto... And I will be damned if I can get a O2 Sensor socket with a wrench back there at the same time. So if I just get the socket on firist then it is impossible to get the socket-wrench on! UGH, I just want this thing fixed!

Any ideas on 'the best way' to do it would be great... I have searched but found little besides take the coil pack off.

TIA

I used a stuby 7/8" box wrench on the sensor, the box end will fit over the connector. Worked fine. To me, the hardest part was snaking the connector back up to where it connnects near the coil pack.

i wasnt able to get a wrench on the end of the O2 socket but i was able to get a swivel and then a ratchet on it.

you can try an offset o2 sensor socket also ...

I ended up going at it from underneath the car to get the socket and wrench on it.

I also had better luck going from beneath. There are tools that may help from going from underneath too. One of them looks sort of like a spark plug ratchet with a flex head but has an oxygen sensor in place of the ratchet head. Another looks a little like a flex head gear wrench but with a line wrench head.
