you can't use a socket to get the o2 off without cutting the wires, i don't remember what size to use, but if you can find someone with an o2 sensor socket, that would be your best bet.

i thought it was 17mm, thats what i used. and a breaker bar on my wrench. also... go to autozone or something similair and pick up a can of this stuff called PB Blaster. spray it on the bolts, wait 10 min, tap them a little, then reapply. 10 min later again, the bolts should come off with ease

in reality you best bet is to get a striped bolt kit the like 50 bucks but worth every peny just put it on and when you cant budge it dont use wd 40 crap or a breaker bar just yous your legs put you fot on the wrench and push will come off no problem usely you legs are typicly 3 times stronger then you arms

My favorite tool is my trigger start torch
I tried every damned thing on the planet to get the O2 sensor off: sensor socket, PBlaster, 7/8" line wrench. . . no moving. Add a little heat (get the bung reddish- don't apply too much heat to the O2 sensor itself) use the 7/8" line wrench and PUSH! Using a little more of the Blaster won't hurt here either.
In terms of the bolts that hold the effin thing on- I can't remember but an impact wrench wil be invaluable, and for that ONE bolt, all of the above about the O2 sensor applies, too.
Good Luck ,dude!
