Well, I was able to get the upper part of the housing, metering unit included,
out of the way enough to get the ox sensor socket on there and without using a
universal joint.

Unfortunately, the 7/8ths inch ox sensor socket slipped several times (I wasn't
sure that was what was happening at first) and the hex faces on the sensor are
probably too rounded off now.

Anyone know the actual metric size it's supposed to be?
