O2 replacement - 2002 Cavalier
I have a 2002 Cavalier that has a bad 02 sensor(pre-cat) and it looked like a simple enough repair. However even with an 02 socket and 3/8 rachet there is not room to turn the darn thing. Will the metal coolant tube move out of the way id I unhook the rubber hose on the left and remove the bolt on it? I can't see what the metal tube connects to on the engine....not sure if it is another hose or a rigid type connector there.

Re: O2 replacement - 2002 Cavalier
Are you talking about the metal coolant hose that goes from the rubber thermostat hose and around towards the firewall?

Re: O2 replacement - 2002 Cavalier
Yes, that is it. The problem is while I can get a O2 socket on it and 3/8 drive ratchet, you can't turn it as there is no room. I was wondering if a 1/4" drive would fair better or if I needed to move the hose. Car is loaned out for a few days so I can't try either right now but appreciate any advise. Looked like I had no problems.....

Re: O2 replacement - 2002 Cavalier
If you follow the metal hose around towards the firewall there is a stud mounted to the transmission that holds this line in place. You can you remove this nut (I thinks it's an 18mm).
If not try using a longer extension and come in closer to the battery side of the car.
