Before cat. O2 sensor replacement

[smak]

Read some posts about replacing the o2 sensor.

It was suggested to remove the cat. first.

Has anyone did it without removing the cat.?

I can reach in with a 22mm fix wrench, but not strong enough.

Got the sensor socket, but no enough room.

Any good suggestion?

thx,

Simon

You don't need to remove the cats. An O2 crows foot and the proper extensions will get the job done. You do need to remove the air box.

Interesting. I did think about removing it from the top. Lots of obstacle especially from the Driver side.
