re: O2 wrench size info needed...

[Robert Myers <rmyers@wvit.wvnet.edu>]

FYI, Y'all,

While skimming a recent JCWhitney catalog, I saw a special socket designed
for just this purpose.  It is a deep socket with a fairly wide slot up the
side through which the wires fit.  It is listed as a 7/8 inch socket size.
The caption indicated that all O2 sensors require the same size socket.  7/8
inch calculates out to 22.225 mm.  Probably close enough.  The price for the
socket was about $6 to $7 as I remember.
