Header o2 sensor

[Whutface]

yea i searched.. didn't find my answer


How do you get the o2 sensor off of the header?

I painted up a second headshield up nice and i cant wiggle it past(even if i could don't want to scratch up the new one) and there isn't room to fit the o2 sensor socket in there? Can the fan be moved easily to make room?

are you saying that you have two covers? PEACE

take the cover out and then remove the o2 sensor.

Yeah I have two. the one on there and I got a second one from the junk yard.($1 ) I couldn't wiggle the first one off past the sensor though. I guess i could just cut it or something.

well you gotta unplug the sensor and then try to pull the heatshield off and then take the sensor out and push it through that hole in the heatshield. It helps to have that special O2 sensor socket that has a cutout for the wires to run on the side. You can rent them from Checker or Autozone for free, just gotta pay a deposit for it but once you return it they refund that money back to your account.

Or just buy a socket for like 8 or 9 bucks.

when i installed my megan header, i had to use a monkey wrench, a hammer, pb blaster and a wall to get it loose from the stock manifold.

unplug the sensor, unbolt the shield, pull the shield away from the sensor, and pull the sensor plug through the hole. then you should be able to get the shield off. you dont need to remove the sensor to do it.
