Reply With QuoteYou need an O2 sensor wrench. Seriously. Try Autozone or pep boys. I think you can borrow one for free at Autozone. If you use a regular wrench you risk screwing up the sensor wiring.

I had the Kamikaze headers that didn't fit the first time around, so now I just received replacement headers for the Eclipse, and they look like they'll fit. I unbolted everything and got stuck on the O2 sensor. I can't take it the heck off. I don't know how to. There's grip around it so it looks like you need to un-tighten it with an open end wrench. I already tried that with no results. So anyone who knows how to take it off please post it here. Any help is appreciated.

Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.
go to the auto parts store. there is a special socket for o2 sensors. it looks like a socket but with a slit down the middle for the wires
a 22MM open end wrench will work, but the special socket is better. Use some PB Blaster or wd-40 shot down in the threads, then work it.
Thanx for the input. I just went and bought the O2 wrench and it worked like a charm with some WD-40. I already have the headers installed and it works great. Thanks for your guys help.
i just found out that places like autozone lets you loan out oxygen sensor removal tools...so you don't need to buy one
