Title: removal of lambda sensors on cossie?
Post by a11mcr on Feb 1^st, 2008, 7:06pm

hi all looking for help to remove the two precat lambda sensors on my cossie?
i have bought the 22mm lambda socket but these are one pair of awkward tight b******s and i think i may have rounded one of a bit.
plus there is no room at all to get in ???
apart from removing the two manifolds isthere an easier way :-/

Hi dude!

You'd be better of with an shortened 22mm dodecahedron (how on earth do you pronounce that??? I found the word in my dictionary) spanner. Cut it to about 15,5 mm (or 6" if you like!).

It's pronounced Do deca hedron. Over hear we call it a Ring spanner which makes things easier!!. ;D ;)

Take it to kwik fit or some where similar and let them do it....they will probaly use a bit of heat on them to remove........worth a try!
