Default bank 2 sensor 1 o2 sensor...how the hell?

How the heck do you change this sensor without taking off the header? I dont see enough room back there for an o2 socket. All help is appreciated!

I used a regular wrench to get it loose then used my hand to twist it off after disconnecting the wire. Be gentle with the wire though.

You can use an offset O2 sensor socket. You can pick them up at most auto parts stores.

Believe it or not, labor rate for doing Sensor 1 (Fronts) is .5. And doing Sensor 2 (Rears) is 1 hour. So, technically it should only take 30 minutes to do the fronts.
