just an fyi you can rent the O2 socket from Autozone for $15, just a deposit and you get the money right back when u return it...nice to know in case you dont want to spend the $45 or whatever the socket cost. (ripoff)

Or you can just use a 22mm or 7/8" box wrench.

ratcheting reverseable helps too.

the 2 times i did it, a wrench wouldnt break it loose, unless u are on PCP.

Mine is a combination wrench about a foot long, that's plenty of leverage.

nah, just some PBBlaster and a good grunt or two works.

heh...yeah it just seems the metal is a bit soft on them, gotta be cautious.

Also, run the engine before trying to remove the old ones. Mucho easier.

I bought a O2 socket from AZ for like $10
