Hi all,

 

My car's in my garage at the moment, the driver's side o2 sensor is out after a massive ball-ache, but I can't get the new sensor in because I can't apply pressure onto the new sensor via the crows feet and extention bar so the threads catch and it screws in. How have other people gotten around this? Does the car need to go up on ramps and then I could install it from underneath?

 

Secondly, I can't see any way of getting to the passenger side sensor, how have people gotten this out? Again, do you get at it from underneath the car?

 

I have extension bars and crows feet, but this is taking forever! It's taken me 1.5 hours to get the old sensor out!

 

Any help would be appreciated guys,

 

Thanks,

Brian:headvswal

aaah, it looks like I'll have to remove the battery to get access to the passenger side. Still unsure about getting the driver's side back in if anyone has any tips?

are you a religious man :p

can you not thread it in by hand?

Naa, the gap is about 1/2 the size of my hand, and I need to feed half my forearm through it to reach the place to put the sensor :(

 

I've given up for tonight, looks like I'm borrowing my lass' car for work tomorrow!

perhapse you could get you lass to install it for you:D

already tried that... she said no :(

beleive you are to remove the battery on the passanger side,

 

and the brake master cylinder on the drivers,
