Y-pipe install question, what tool do I need to remove oxygen sensors.
I will be ordering a Y-pipe soon and read several write ups on installing it. I think I will be able to tackle this myself. Acording to Maximadriver.com, you need a 22mm wrench to remove the oxygen sensors.
The largest metric wrench I have is 18mm. Can I use a large (good quality) adjustable wrench? Or do I have to buy a 22mm open end wrench or flare nut wrench? I also have standard wrenches up to 15/16ths, is there a standard size that is close enough to work.
I definatly do not want to round off the oxegen sensor, but I don't want to spend money on a wrench I will only use once either.

Yeah, there is a standard size one that will work without problems, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. For some reason 7/8's jumps to the front of my mind.
However, the correct wrench would be a good investment. When I swap y-pipes I plan on picking up a 22mm.
