Default Need help removing 02 sensors!!!

I am installing my American Racing Headers and I was able to remove the O2 sensors that are after the cats but I don't have anything that will fit the small space in the stock exhaust manifolds to remove those O2 sensors.

I have an '06 C6 for what it's worth...

What did everyone else use to remove those 02 sensors, a 15mm open wrench is too small and an adjustable wrench is too big
I may have to go buy some new ones if I can't get them out
Help...
