Have a new NTK sensor. The sensor is just behind the turbo, and it projects downward through a metal shroud. There is only about enough clearance, once shroud is removed, for a 4 in. open-end. IE, there is not enough clearance for an open-end wrench....not with the exhaust in place. Its questionable whether I could find a deep socket deep enough to work....and only would be usable anyway to remove the old one, as there would be wires still attached on the new one. It would be a big job to disconnect the exhaust from the turbo and drop it, as there are sub-frame parts that have to be removed. The lousy Haynes manual gives no details about how to actually remove and install. Is there perhaps some special tool I can get for this? Surely there is a way to replace without dropping the exhaust?
