Here's the one that I bought:

 

Can I get it at an auto parts store or anywhere not online? Trying to get it asap without having to pay for overnight shipping.

 

Any auto parts store or a Harbor Freight has the O2 sensor socket.

 

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the help.

 

I have to do this replacement too. I read somewhere it makes it easier to unbolt the "dog bones" so the engine will rotate forward. Any advice on this or maybe better ways to get the clearance to get to the O2 sensor?

 

You can unbolt them but you need to use a ratchet strap to pull the engine forward once there unbolted.

 

did this job was fairly easy, the special socket for the 02 made things a ton easier for me engine felt like it ran smoother after this

 

Some need to rock the engine forward, I have not yet had a need to do so. A good ratchet (or breaker bar), the O2 sensor socket and a matching deep well is all I have needed thus far. When I did my O2, I had to cut the cord of the original and use the deep well socket. I used a long extension to connect it to a breaker bar above the engine. No problems. Then re-installation used the O2 sensor socket.

 

when i did this i didnt need to rock the engine forward i have pretty skinny arms so i jus hopped up on the frame of the engine bay and reached my arms in

 

Some of us have CA smog pumps built into our cars that make the job difficult without rocking the engine forward :P
