Specialty Switch Socket Set
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Note: Although these procedures address oxygen sensors, they may be used as general guidelines for other types of sensors and
switches listed in the kit contents. Disconnect vacuum lines and wiring connectors as appropriate.
Note: DO NOT use any compounds on or around oxygen sensors or oxygen sensor threads unless they have a label that designates them
as safe for use around oxygen sensors. Products containing silicone will damage the sensor and are to be avoided.
Note: DO NOT allow sensor wiring to contact hot exhaust manifold or pipes.
Note: DO NOT allow oxygen sensors to be contaminated by common automotive chemicals, including windshield washer fluid, oil, grease
or solvents.
Caution: Make sure vehicle is well supported and stable when removing oxygen sensor. Take care not to knock vehicle off of jack stands.
1. Spray threads of old sensor with penetrating oil to ease removal. See notes above.
2. Disconnect old oxygen sensor connector from vehicle wiring harness.
3. Fit oxygen sensor socket onto the sensor, making sure that the wire protrudes through the slot. See Figure a (oxygen sensor) or b (oil
pressure sensor):
4. Using a breaker bar or ratchet inserted into the square drive on the socket, turn the sensor counterclockwise to remove it from the
manifold or exhaust pipe.
5. If the sensor is very tight or if the threads are rusted, it may be necessary to tap the breaker bar lightly with a dead blow hammer to
break the sensor loose. Once loosened, it should be possible to remove the sensor with a ratchet.
6. To install, apply a light coating of anti-seize compound to oxygen sensor threads. See notes above. Tighten oxygen sensor to factory
torque specifications or finger tight, plus one turn (when appropriate). Connect oxygen sensor connector to the vehicle wiring harness.
