And cut those sensor wires off and throw a socket on there. Im using the vast zoldmans, so no need for the old ones.
Thanks for the link..i searched and searched and didnt come across that link.

I had no problems with the crows foot for the O2 sensors.
Once you figure out the angle to get at it, everything else is easy. The drivers side is much harder than the passengers. It took me 1 hr for the drivers and 15 min for the passengers.

Agreed on crows foot, for angle, but took me 3+ hrs for drvrs side
lol...I like to think things out, because I'm stoopid.
Couple more things OneBad, if you're a fellow DIY rookie...
- No one mentioned the obligatory Zoldman picture with free AutoZone rental (link). I may own mine now...its been weeks and I just forget I still had them...doh.
- cutting old wires OK, but I needed the 1/2" crows foot to get to the drvers side w/o removing heat shield.
- thread by finger, reach down by standing by drivers side wheel with left arm and turn while arm is touching firewall. Careful...wear gloves and long sleeve ,the heat shield inner lip is like a soup tin after lid removal. Then get crow foot back on before extensions (imo).<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2756568.phtml">zoldman sig</a></li></ul>

Forget the crows foot and use a 02 sensor socket
I just used a ratchet with about 24" worth of extensions with a wobbly attachment on the end. I know it sounds janky but it works great! I've done this quite a few times doing downpipes, granted its easier with the subframe dropped but its still doable without. I had my car on ramps and was alternating from above the engine to underneath the car quite a bit while doing 02s

Thanks guys...
There was some other good links in there,thanks.
Should i def get that rental kit from autozone? Or just go with the crows foot? How do those rental kits work? Still uses the extensions with the 3/8 or 1/2in? It almost looks like a star bit or something.

It's usually a 1/2" drive. Search the archives for the kit.
There's a certain socket that's recommended if you're going that route. I forgot who posted it but I think it was Zoldman and it included a picutre.

I put zoldman sig post in my link below lol...
Kit rental is cool. They put a $40 deposit on your card (there are three different sockets in there), you can keep the things a long time...then give em back.
I'll probably buy the one I used for $10 at the store with my returned deposit, becuase I still need to do pass side, sometime.
