My sensor arrived today.
Odat, If you unplugged the connector on yours and slid it through a 7/8" socket, you need to tell me - and the world - how you did it.

Job is finished in 30 min.
Engine running only a minute or two, a few sprays of PB Blaster and a plain ole 7/8" open end wrench. The key for me was to come at the sensor from behind the exhaust pipe, where there is more room, and you can push the wrench maybe two or three inches, which is enough to loosen the sensor. (Also, my Xtreme has 60K of salt and rust -free driving, that might have helped.) Thanx and a tip of the hat to Abbyblzrxtreme who preceded me on this project.
I did not reset the sensors, seems like I read that was unnecessary.
On edit:: SES light turned itself off. Good to go!
