Use this to let you angle the wrench up. Just did a buddies TP's a few weeks back and the steering rod was a tight fit.

This steering linkage?

a. Mark the buckle and linkage with paint
b. Remove buckle
c. Put it back together so the paint matches

Just about, o2 sensor on driver side wouldn't come out, so I'm going to buy new o2 sensor. Besides that, just going to put in the nuts and bolts.

That's what I used, I would buy a couple tho just in case. I broke one of mine and had to walk a mile and a half to auto zone to buy another one.
