front o2 sensor removal
How do I remove the front o2 sensor? The ac pipe is in the way and my o2 sensor socket wont slide past it.

What year is your car? I have a 2000 and when I put a Y-pipe on it, I removed the O2 sensor from below with an open end wrench.

Yup try from below... Get out your penetrating oil spray and coat it down, you're gonna need it with all that rust.

Or try with a tilting open ended wrench?

You can do it using a small wrench and of course a o2 sensor socket. I did it not too long ago, There should be just enough room to get a grip on it.

Sorry I thought I was clear. I have an o2 socket but it won't slide past my Ac pipe. There isn't enough space. I will try the open wrench
