Hey guys,
Been a while since I posted here... mostly because life got in the way and I stopped tracking the mustang. But now all those track miles are showing their wear and tear.
I have to replace the driver side, upstream A/F sensor, i.e. bank 2, sensor 1. However, I'm having a hard time accessing the driver side sensor. From the top, the master cylinder and the steering shaft are in the way. From the bottom, there's minimal clearance to rotate the sensor with an o2 sensor socket and combination of extensions and a universal joint. Preferably, I'd like to accomplish this sensor replacement with no, or minimal, removal of other components, because almost everything is rusted shot down there, but if I have to remove other components, I will.
One possible method I see from the bottom is by hitting the 3/8" extension with a hammer, while the extension is attached to the o2 sensor socket with a universal joint. However, without a lift, I have minimal clearance to swing a hammer.
fyi, I was able to replace the passenger side, upstream A/F sensor with minimal effort from the top by removing the battery and the battery tray.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
