shit is easy.. didn't take 4.5 mins for the whole installation.. used a regular open ended 21mmwrench... cost was 60 shipped for OE direct fit.. Denso brand.. guy on honda-tech selling it for that price for any vehicle.. works well.. runs good

Really??? Damn thats bad ass link me!!!! I think OEM is Denso though lol.

Nah, by this point we had the manifold off the car and the old 02 sensor was gonna be scrapped anyway. But that thing was impossible to get off with muscle alone. 2 grown men grappling with that thing with all their might and it refused to break loose. PITA

dangg thats pretty intense did anything happen to it after torching it haha

[accordaffair]

My old a1 manifold had one seriously freaking infused into the damn thing. PB blaster wouldn't do it, my mech had to use a torch to heat it up to get it out.

i just used a regular wrench. but i had the whole header out so it was pretty easy

can i use a regular open wrench or i'm gonna strip it that way.. the installation guide said car has to be at ambient temp when installing new one.. ambient? wtf is that all about..

The O2 sensor should be the same temperature as it is outside when you're installing it?

How much was it?

Or you can get a vicegrip. I can angle it to the pint where it wont squish the sensor

spray it with PB Blaster, WD 40 doesnt do anything.

get one of these:


but not one of these, these suck:

you can rent the socket from autozone, and yeah, it would hurt to spray some wd 40 or soemthing like that, its not too hard, it would be easier if you dropped the downpipe and do it off the car

ok i got the new sensor how hard is it to change it on 5th gen. should be same as 4th.. i heard u can't use a wrench because of the tight space.. i heards theres a special tool that goes over the sensor so u can take out the sensor.. how hard is it to break it free from the exahust. is it alright if i sprayed wd-40 on the sensor like a day or 2 before doing this it can break it free?


let me know anyone seen or have DIY or tips?
