Randman'* O2 Trick
Hey everyone I came across something really cool. When I had some exhaust work done I let myself be talked into an O2... Duuuh it'* probably a Bosch. Today I pick up a Delco and need to put it in. In talking to the man about putting it in and not thinking the cresent wrench will have enough swing room....he says..crows foot. Hmmmm
A 7/8 inch crow foot, 2 foot extension and my favorite rachet took care of the situation in record time. I wanted to pass this tip on to forum.

Rent the proper tool from AutoZone.
Those crows feet can round off the flats on the sensor. With the socket from AutoZone, you're grabbing all six flats, opposed to only two.

Suggestion and future note to stupid self: when you take out old O2...put somewhere besides strut tower you are going to lean forearm on.
