Out of all the videos ive seen, this was the one that actually worked. Thank you!!

U weird asf

Thanks for the video I'm definitely not paying anyone when I can do it myself

Thanks for this video very helpful

I just use a pipe wrench it works great and easy

Bruh you literally talk TOO DAMN MUCH JUST. CHANGE THE DAMN THING

Thanks!

I'm confused. U put the tape on the outside of the socket? How do that help the socket fit the o2 sensor more snug?

Good vid

While I’m driving my car would jerk like slightly accelerating and stoping but only for a second and it would do that frequently while driving ????

"Good job very good job. I just did the same thing that you just did. but mine is different It's a chevy econage the space is very limited . I have to break the head of it off because that 02 sensor modify socket sucks all it really did is stripped the nut. To me it is only for putting the new one back on. So i broke the head off the oxygen Sensor down to the nut. I bought A breaker bar and did the same thing with a regular socket. ( Where to go Mcgiver..

This may not reach you and it might, but do you remember any symptoms the car had before you had to change that sensor?

That's what I've always heard them called was Dikes

Awesome very good information bro thank you

HEY,,,, Thanks Much for putting this up. You're really thorough and cover the details well. It's a lot of work and you did a good job with this video.... Very helpful.

Thank you

Thank you so much, been ripping mine apart for the last 30 minutes

thanks

Had to do the downstream sensor on wife's 16' Malibu, pulled the exhaust manifold heat shield, went from underneath to remove sensor, heated with torch for 15-20 seconds, then it came loose. Now the fun part is getting to that damned plug! Can't get to with hand so used a long flat head to slide the white tab back, then had wife push down on button with crow bar and I went in from side with flat head to get in between both connectors and walked it off. Trying to get new one back on is just a pure nightmare and have no good suggestions

Great job on this video! Very clear and really helpful! Thanks!

Lifesaver lol at first I went straight in with the needle nose pliers

This is a really good vid! gonna try these tommorow, the conclusion was very helpful as well!

I have tried everything to no avail for about 3 months. I will try your method and see how it goes. Thanks for the technique.

Saved me a lot of time thank you

I know this video is 4 years old, but i wanted to say thank you. Mine was stuck. i used the o2 socket stripped a bit but broke the stem off and used a 22mm worked bravo brother. Thank you

Thanks for the video!

Hey man, you have a o2 downstream sensor guide? Sensor 2? Thanks

Would this be something that shows up when the heater & defrost are on ?Dealership said it was mass air flow sensor due to the P1101 code but that’s newly replaced a day and a half later the engine light is on again. Also starting to smell a light rotten egg smell when I cut the heater on, so does this sensor play a role in the catalytic converter. I have a 2020 Chevy Malibu by the way.

You the man!!!saved me so much headache.

Thanks

Why did you replace to oxygen sensor? Because I’m having trouble with my girls Chevy malibu 15” idles hard when you come to a stop while in drive.

Good looking out. Saved my life lol

Thinks a lot young man .I just started on mine and didn't no what to do. Take Care

There was a video made on KZbin where a guy used a hose clamp on those open slot sockets to keep pressure so that the socket wouldn't open up while you were turning on it he said it worked well

If only I watched this first. At least I only tore one up a bit before I came here. All 4 POPPED right out using this method. Thanks.

Thank you brother. 🙌

Thank you so much man……🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey bro just wanted to say thank you so much. I just spent the last half hour trying to break off every last please of rubber. My sales were torn and having a hard time. And this video completely help me out. This man knows what he’s doing and it’s just making a video to help y’all out. Thank you bro very helpful

Putting a hose clamp around the lambda sensor socket can help prevent them spreading just enough so you can free the sensor Good tip to have tho, using the tape

Good job Homie!

You ain't kidding brother this is a pain in the ass. It's a 96 Toyota Celica motor so it's been in there for a while. I think that this is the hardest part of the whole job. I was hoping to find a magic trick LOL 😂

I haven’t tried it yet but my dad always uses a pipe wrench in combination with heating it up and the pb blaster but he has never not gotten one out so it’s always possible

22" extractor will do the best result after cut off old sensor .

I'll tell you what...I have the deep well and 3/8 offset O2 sockets, wrapped with a hose clamp, I used Freeze off spray, a torch and heat gun...all resulting in rounding off the sensor...I watched a dozen other videos with no luck, frustrated as a MF'er.....until...I watched yours....Took some electrical tape wrapped one layer completely around the inside of my 7/8 socket...and less than 30 seconds later it broke free and was out!!! Thank You bigtime!!! It worked like a charm....thanks bro!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You saved me a lot of time and frustration.

Helpful af, thank you.

Thank you.

Good video here. If I could make a couple of suggestions though... I would be real careful not to pry, or press anything on your valve cover seal, or the machined groove it fits in. Damaging the seal is one thing, but damaging the cover is worse. And this isn't so much a suggestion, maybe more of a pointer... I like how you used the flat head on the underside of the seal. You don't want to damage the cover at all if you can avoid it, but especially the surface that will mate with the outside diameter of your oil seal. Cause what these seals are is a metal clad oil seal, very similar to a metal clad wiper on a hydraulic cylinder, only the wiper won't hold any pressure. The oil seal, sometimes called a shaft seal is made to actually hold pressure. Not sure how much in the case of a car but alot of the ones I've seem in hydraulics shops hold low pressure. Like 10-15 psi. So if that side wall of that cover that mates with the OD of the oil seal gets damaged it'll allow oil to pass right by it. Anyway, not trying to give negative criticism. I think you did a good job on the video. Thanks for sharing!

Those o2 Sensor sockets are really bad, they will destroy the edges if the sensor does not come out very easy.

i bought a cheap breaker bar. i hate it sooooooo much. really tough to get the sockets in and the sockets fall off with the breeze
