Short 02 sensors?

why do you have to take off the pipes? Even without an O2 sensor socket all you need is a torch and they'll come off. I can see why long O2 sensors would be a problem if you're using a socket, but try an open ended wrench

Well at the moment, the end of the o2 sensor, metal part not wire, is touching my block.. so by turning it it will push into my block and wont be able to get it off fully, but i will find a way to get it off, but then i need to get the new one in, so intern i need a small length one

i dont use a socket, i use a nice 22mm wrench

iim using avc turbo pipes to clarify

well i just put on my turbo pipes, and when i did i put on the o2 sensor first, and then i had ti kinda bend the o2 sensor tip to get it to fit properly

im not taking off my pipes again to change my o2 sensor, thats my point, it took forever for me to get them on so i rather not go through all that hassle

so in order for me to not have that, id need a shorter o2 sensor, and i see that is the 1 wire o2 sensor, and u said it was from bosch?

do you have the part number and the price

not the part number, receipt is in jersey in last years car maintenance file. It ran me about $50 IIRC. Hoe do you plan on getting this one off without removing the pipes? cutting it? Or since the tip is bent will it be easier to get it off?

if i get a replacement that i know for sure fits, i will cut it in half and then just screw it off

i had to bend it to get it to fit when it was previously screwed in, so i wont be able to screw it out
