97 Maxima -replacing 02 sensor?

Greetings. this is the first time I have visited this group, and I apologize in advance if I am asking a question that has been asked to death.

I must replace the front Oxygen Sensor in the 97 Maxima. The top part is a snap (litterally),

but how the devil do you get the bloody sensor out of the manifold? I cant get a tool on it!

Obviously I am overlooking something, or there is a specialty tool that costs more than the sensor.

Can anyone answer my question?

TIA..jb

There is a special o2 sensor socket. I can't recall if I used it for that location (I changed all o2 sensors together and don't remember the details) and you haven't elaborated on what tool you've tried unsuccessfully.

It's only a $14 tool at any parts store and it might be exactly what you need. Much less than the cost of a sensor.
