I had looked at those. I almost bought one, but I was nervous about all the reviews I read that said they worked the first time or two they were used but then wore out.

Same on my EX
I know they are pointed up somewhat, but I figured it was to prevent them from collecting condensation. At any rate, I can get the socket I have over it; it just tends to slip off and I can't get leverage with a breaker bar between the floor pan and the ground.

Oh? I have one similar to this: Buy K Tool International 3/8" Drive Oxygen Sensor Socket KTI32229 at Advance Auto Parts. I bought it specifically because this is the third time I've had to take a sensor out on different vehicles, and I thought this would be something I could use on any vehicle. So this one won't work on the X?

Hmm. I looked at those too, but didn't think they'd work as well as a socket. I'll have to keep that in mind if this doesn't work.

I used a loaner tool set from O'Reilly. Had several sockets in it.

It took a few treatments with PB Blaster, and I had to pull the pipe down a little to get it to grab. I had to use the socket on this one because they welded a heat shield perpendicular to the pipe and parallel to the sensor. All in all, I'm pleased with it so far. Next planned project for the wrench (not sure when I'll get to it) will be to remove the hub studs when I replace ball joints on the X.
