I am trying to replace the oxygen sensor (the one between the engine and fan) but I have had difficulty.
I was wondering if there was an easy way or if it is just tricky. I don't see how you would get a wrench in to loosen the part that goes in the engine.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Dennis

Try the biggest box end wrench you can find.Slid it down over the O2 and pull like thereis no tomorrow. Alittle penetrating could help also run engine a little the heat will help.
Good luck
