i don't like using crows foot or open ended wrenches because i always seem to round out the o2 sensor.

hey, which o2 sensors did you end up going with? I need to buy some for my 30v.


this kind:

you want one like this, it has the cut out for the wires. Advance auto parts and autozone sells them.

i found the direct fit bosch sensors for 100 bucks each on Amazon with free shipping too.

might just try the universal ones, with a PROPER soldering/splicing job. not sure yet.

I prefer crow's foot. The special tool is great, but very easy to strip as it expands.
