It'* about time to change it ACDelco is the recommended brand,stay away from BOSCH!!!!! They make O2 sensor sockets. I paid 11.00 for mine at Advance. It is a 7/8 deep waeel with a slot in the side for the wire to hang out of. IMO it was worth it.

The socket is the best way. I happened to have a crow foot socket and used that..it was also easy.

Why are there two different topics on this?

Change your O2. They rarely if ever throw a light. Use a crescent wrench. Works fine. Use AC Delco only.
