Default how to...?

I may have been slightly underestimating about how to remove upstream O2 sensor from passenger side.
Is there a write up or YouTube video on how to remove driverside upstream O2 sensor out there?

You will need either a 7/8" crowsfoot or a O2 sensor socket. You may need a long breaker bar to break it loose.

Simpler, most of us have one of these in the toolbox. Use the box end (box end only works on non heated sensors).
