So i have finally decided to get a new oxygen sensor form Mr Nissan, but my problem is that its bloody impossible to remove as i can't get a spanner in there and get enough torque on the spanner to undo it!

i tried an ultratune which was open sat mornings that is nearby me, but they don't have the tool to do it :(

now i know there is a tool which is like a big socket that goes over the o2 sensor but has a hole in the side for the wire to go through.. i went to supercheap and repco but no luck. repco have one in toowoomba but that's not much help

this is what it looks like:

so does anyone have one?

or does anyone have another special device that could help me out?

a 6-pack of beer is in it for any kind soul that wants to help me out this weekend

preferrable near to the brisbane city

cheers,

Warren

would a ring spanner fit in there? undo the clip and put the wire through the ring spanner hole??? although the clip might be too big to fit through the ring spanner... give it a try anyway

i use a ring spanner with a piece chopped out of it

drive it around here :D

Get out the WD40 and crc, also ever tried a 12" shifter and a hammer to break rust. usually works for me, there easy to get off dun see the problem.

Mind you if you were to be travelling down as far as springwood way i would do it for free

I have always used an adjustable spanner for the 02 sensor and have always found them to be just over finger tight...

When you put the new one in just pinch it up just over finger tight again, they dont need to be done up to 100lbs with a torque wrench... :)

must say the O2 sensor was one SOB to get out, just ask warren, the thing was on so friggen tight it wasnt funny, let alone there wasnt much room at all to get to it, but all in all supercheap came in handy, and finally got it out with a 22mm long socket, Perfect fit all round, as long as you do not require your old 02 sensor, and in with the NEW one with 1/16 to 1/8th of a turn after hand tight, perfecto.

Cheers and glad to help

Splash of brake fluid and a decent open end spanner never let me down.

Has the change of O2 sensor made your car feel any better in closed loop mode Warren?

I noticed it struggled to climb revs slowly when just touching the throttle but when you just started to back off the revs would jump then fall. Usually an indication of O2 sensor malfunction.

thansk again adam, hope those beers go down nicely >_<

daniel: haven't been able to notice much difference yet as i have only driven it home and nowhere else. but, it hasnt missed a beat yet

i will report back of the differences in a few days.. and with some fuel economy changes (if any)

oh, and i have had a couple of PM's about the part number for the geniune nissan item, and its: 22690-73L11

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
