Wantin To Borrow O2 Sensor Socket

[heartbrkr]

Hi all,

Looking to change my O2 sensor. Picked one up from repco during their Easter sale, but they didnt have the socket in stock.

My mechanic doesnt have one. So was wondering if someone on the Forums might have one I could borrow?

I'm in Hawthorn btw. Would only need it a day or two.

Cheers.

the o2 sensor tool bends/expands when you try to take the o2 sensor... or the one that i borrowed off scotsman does.

try cutting a wrench in half to fit it down there then use a big piece of metal to lever it.

If you have the right size normal socket (I think its 22?) and somesort of ratchet spanner or shifter you can do it without the tool

Grab a hammer and chisel and knock the bulk of the sensor right off. Snap the socket over the top which will now fit and take it off.

fit the new one on and you should be able to get it tight enough with a spanner (although you might have to play around with it coz its very tight in there). You wont be able to get it super tight without the proper 02 sensor tool but you should be able to get it tight enough without it, and anyway then the next 40,000kms it wont be so hard to take off again
