goto any autozone or auto parts store and get an o2 sensor socket. They are about 8bucks. I believe they are 1", and they have a slit that goes all the way down the socket. Any auto parts store will know what you are talking about.

This is how i got to mine.

I have used an O2 Sensor tool similiar to this one, on the IS350... worked perfectly!!

thanks guys this really helps. It's good to know that i don't have to go to the stealership to get this done i'll just go to a reputable muffler shop rather than the pimp my ryde shop i am at LOL

Ok I visited all the muffler shops recommended by my friends and none has it & the dealership won’t do it (because the parts are not OEM). So I’ll have to get it. JoeZ, combfilter or anyone who’s experienced with this, could you kindly look for a link of the socket you use?

These are the first search hits I got:

Sorry Hamza

I don't have the tool part number or brand name handy... (I'm at work)
Its actually at a friends shop right now..

So I will have to try and dig up the info..

Any chance your local lexus tech can show you the tool and then you will know what to buy locally??

I already told you where I got my socket. autozone. Since you are in SA I would try giving them a call. Just because it's not online doesn't mean you can't order it from them.
