Oxygen Sensor Replacement

How do you get the o2 sensor off, I can get a offset wrench on it , but it can't turn it enough to get the wrench back on. This car has the california emissions so thats stuff is kinda in the way too. Is there a special tool or something to use?? I was thinking if i had an offset open ended wrench instead of a box end it would probably work.
I even tried to get at it from under the car but there just isn't enough room

Re: Oxygen Sensor Replacement

I don't think a socket would fit over the wire though there would be no where for it to go

Re: Oxygen Sensor Replacement

I got mine out with a 22 (I believe) wrench and IIRC It makes it much easier if the exhaust system is fairly warm when you try to remove it.
