So the code came up for my front 02 sensor and I bought it today expecting to replace it. But when I crawled under there I found that it will be a little harder than I planned. First, the plug that I will need to unplug and then plug in the new one is nearly on top of the trans. with no slack to work with and my hand doesn't even come close to fitting up in there. So i'll probably end up cutting the wires and splicing in the new one (I had to do that once on a suburban and it worked) even then it will be hard to do with the amount of space I have to work with.
Second, there isn't much room to work with a wrench and that sucker is really in there like they usually are (heating to 300 degrees and then falling to -20 in Wyoming time after time probably has this thing almost welded into place).
So, does anyone have any tips on this? Am I missing some secret way to access the plug to where it's reachable for a human? Best wrench to remove plug with? Maybe some liquid wrench?
TIA
