Hey whats up, I plan on installing my 2.5" aps test pipes tomorrow and I was wondering what tools I need. I know I need a lot of extensions, but how many?? I did a search and couldnt find the thread I read a while back. Thanks

 

Spray nuts, bolts and oxygen sensors with penetrating fluid the night before.
The 3 bolts connecting the exhaust manifold and test pipe isn't too difficult to reach.
I recommend a oxygen sensor socket. It has a slit in the side for the wires. To remove the oxygen sensor, put the catalytic converter on the ground and stand on it.

 

I actually remove teh 02 sensor while its still on the car since its a bit easier to torque it off. Its best to have 2 guys, w/ one on the top torqueing the top bolts from the engine bay, and another guy to hold the washer from the bottom of the car.

 

where can i purchase the oxygen sensor socket? Sears? Auto parts store?
thanks

 

Any auto parts store. I went to Sears and bought two of their longest extensions to do the job. Hope it went well.

 

You could just use a 7/8" wrench to get it off
You need about 18-24" worth of extensions
