Swapped out the Primary Oxygen sensors as I was inspired by a both 802SHO and SBS and probably a few others...it went much better then I expected because being driven through several MN winters I was expecting the worst but both sensors came right out with just a little penetrating oil. I did use a crows foot (Tekton) oxygen sensor wrench which worked out awesome. Also used the aforementioned "shoe lace trick" on the rear which made reconnecting the harness a LOT easier. I do have one "tip" to add though - if you are using the crows feet on the front sensor (from under the car) and you have a performance pack oil cooler (at least I think that is what it was) be careful not to overrotate the crows foot when you are retightening the O2 sensor because the ratchet gets "stuck" behind the oil cooler. I spent a lot of time trying to wriggle and pry and maneuver it until I finally found just the perfect combination that let me back off the wrench. The obvious fix would have been to just reverse the ratcheting mechanism but I couldn't because the wrench had enough pressure on it. I was envisioning either driving it red faced to a mechanic with a wrench attached or worse. Anyway hopefully that will save someone else the same issue. Here's a shout out to everyone who did this before me that made it a lot easier!!!
Awesome glad it went well all things considered! I had to free my wrench on both 02s after loosening...i think bc of the surface rust on them.
