[s-cars] Installing a new O2 sensor, is there a torque value?

[James Murray (QB/EMC)]

Thanks for the responses guys, best if I can get the old one out without penetrating oil, then replacing it should be a breeze... no one has mentioned any torque values, so I guess a good snug fit will do... 

Cheers, /James.

I want to replace my O2 sensor this weekend, do you absolutely need the special O2 Sensor socket? I was thinking since I'm getting rid of the old one I can just cut the wires and use a regular deep socket, and for installing the new one an open end wrench do fine unless it requires a specific torque setting... but I don't see why it would.

Is there a specific torque setting needed to install the new o@ sensor? (anyone know what it is...)

Cheers, /James.

P.S. Any tips for removing the old one... cold, heat, liquid wrench...
