    Hey guys,
    I've fished around for awhile here but couldn't find anything specific,,,,
    so,
    Any tips on removing the bank 1 sensor 1 o2 sensor? some way to get to it or how you did it, and then find the connector after it's installed.
    Got the Denso part, just having a hell of a time trying to get to and break it free,, it's soaking in PB Blaster now
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Through the fender.

    If its really hard, cut the wire and use a deep 22mm socket as a fail safe removal.

    Got it!
    That worked,,, turned the wheel, jacked it up, removed wheel, was able to get to it with that special socket and a long extension bar connected to my impact driver and off she came! PB Blaster helped overnight I'm sure, but it worked, wasn't easy and the plug was a pita also.
    Thanks again! Here's a pic of the socket if it helps someone else. :cheers:
