1998 Gs300 Bank 2 Sensor 1 (difficult To Remove)

[zkse]

Hi, I have a engine light up with a code of P0155 which is the Bank 2 Sensor 1. I tried to use a Oxygen Sensor Socket to remove it, but I have limited room when I put the socket on the sensor. I don't have any space to move when I attach the Wrench on the socket. I am thinking to buy the Lisle 43900 Oxygen Sensor Remover. Do you think that will help? Thank you.

I have never had to replace a o2 sensor, Is the o2 socket too long ? The Lisle 43900 Oxygen Sensor Remover looks like it will do the job, Have you checked out any local shops in your area that rent out tools ? Then you could talk to somebody before renting or borrowing the tool. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Yeah, the o2 socket too long. and the bank 2 sensor 1 is on the 4,5,6 cylinder which is hard to reach. i will try the Lisle 43900. and hoping will get it out.

thank you very much.

If you unplug the connector, a regular box end wrench should fit over the plug and slide down to the sensor.

What you can do is since you're replacing the o2 sensor on the car is to cut the wire off as close as u can to the sensor & put a wrench on the sensor & take off. Also it'll help if you let the car run for a few mins to warm up the engine. That'll help with the sensor coming out.
