Review on Enhanced Shankly Oxygen Sensor Socket, Vacuum Socket & Spark Plug Thread Repair Chasers Set by Charles Barney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This tool works as expected!

I was skeptical but after reading some positive reviews I felt it was worth the price. This tool kit did not disappoint. The O2 sensor on a 2012 Infinity QX56 was sensor number 1 on the bank 2 side (in my car it's the passenger side). The sensor was located directly behind the passenger wheel. As soon as the car was jacked up, fixed with a stand, the rear wheels got stuck. All I had to do was peel back the underside of the fender liner and slide the tool over the O2 sensor. I ended up using a deep slotted head with an extension and a ratchet wrench. I also had to tap the ratchet handle with a hammer to loosen the O2 sensor. Once free it was easy to rotate/reverse it out of the hole. Oh, I forgot to mention that you must disconnect the sensor cable before unscrewing the sensor from its socket. Otherwise the whole wire will get twisted. Once the wire is disconnected you can rotate the sensor and the wire will rotate freely with it. The new sensor was easy to insert, tightened with a finger and then tightened with the same deep socket. connect cable. and put everything back together. The car started and the check engine light went out. I drove the car for 10 minutes on the freeway, then home. All good and saved a few bucks by not having to go to the mechanic. I would recommend this tool to anyone looking to replace their O2 sensor. Make sure you check the size of your sensor versus the size of this instrument. This tool is 22mm in diameter. Much luck!
