Oxygen Sensor Socket

Has anybody ever had any experience with this oxygen sensor tool? Does it work? Click here.

I get to change mine after Seafoaming. Yay Seafoam!

Only time I've changed mine was when the headers were out of the car. Then you just have to use a really big wrench.

You can borrow one from Autozone. Just put down a deposit and get it back when you return the tool.

I just bought O2 socket from Napa. It has a slot a long one side and it is a deep socket as well. It was only about 10 bucks. It work very well, it removed both up stream O2s wiht no trouble.

Yeah, I saw those too, but being as cramped as the LT1 is, I figured there was a reason this was made like it was. Oh well, I already bought it and got it today, just seeing if anybody had used this particular one and if it made it any easier. I remember last time I changed them it was a you know what to get the driver side, but I think I think I may have been just using pliers.
