Oxygen Sensor Removal

Oxygen Sensor Removal
I found a local mechanic who comes highly recommended and who has done some work on local SC430s (there are precious few of them around here). He ordered and received the sensor from a Lexus dealer who's about 60 miles from here.
Problem ... he was unable to remove the bad sensor (this is the front passenger-side sensor) because he didn't have enough room to manipulate the wrench. Naturally, I wasn't looking over his shoulder, so I don't have any other details on his problem.
Anyone have any experience or information about removing this sensor?
Thanks

I just helped my friend to replace the before CAT sensor on passenger side , it was harder than the rear one because it's close to engine and heat came out from manifold could melt the sensor thread , i cut the bad sensor shorter ( used 4 inch grinder with metal cut blade) then opened by regular socket and extension with 3/4 inch galvanize pipe about 2 foot lenght , i could turn it with less muscle , it took the same time compare with replacing the rear one because i did not need to make univarsal connector. Let me know if you have any problem
