Help Installing New O2 Sensor In S2 R33..

[stolen_s15]

Well the line has been returning abismal fuel economy lately and sure enough the O2 sensor was stuffed, so I got a new one. Problem is everyone wants crazy $$ to install it, or they wont give me a solid price. So it's going to be a home job. Problem is I'm still new at the whole 'do it yourself' and need a little help, I dont have the tool (It needs a specific one i believe) or the experience. If anyone could lend me a hand over the weekend, I'd be happy to give you a slab or something. If you can help me out Pm me.

Cheers

22mm spanner or special socket for 02 sensor will do it.

don't bother with the o2 removal tool.

buy a cheap spanner and cut it in half so you can get it in there

you may need to lever it out if the sensor has never been changed in the life of hte car. i used the handle of an axe, up against a block of wood supported on the chassis. it did the trick. no way i could've applied the amount of force needed on the spanner without doing that.

Its basically next to your turbo heat shield, kinda hard to get it out. I am getting a friend mechanic to do it next service.

I wouldnt pay anymore than 30 bucks for someone else to do it.

Thanks bud. I know where it is but after 10 mins of mucking about I couldn't get the little fu(k3r out, thats why I was after the help. But i'm just gonna get a mate to do the magic spanner chop mentioned above, and give it another crack.

Anyone know if there s anything tricky about the wiring?
