How do I reach this little shit? I got a sensor socket off amazon but it seems like the walls are too thick to actually reach the nut, it just bumps into the obstructions over and underneath. I could try ordering a different socket but don't want to bother if it's not likely to work. Is there another tool I could use here?
this is the socket, does it seem unusually thick?

The socket is fine it's just shit placement om the O2s part
The inclosed side of a wrench
seriously bro, figure it our yourself...this is fucking the easiest shit to do.....NO ONE HELP THIS ASSHOLE LET HIM FIGURE IT OUT !
Use penetrating oil will make it a lot easier.

you could just admit you don't know
Shave down the outer circumference of the socket with a bench grinder.
I have a spark plug socket that I did this to because the 12A's plugs were unreachable without it.
just hammer a screwdriver through it bro

Break off the old sensor, then wrench off whatever is left. Shoot some penetrating fluid at it and whack it a few times too.

Black sockets are always extra thick.
>penetrating fluid
I have never found the stuff to help when undoing stuff. Works fine for reassembling shit though.
Want to get it out?
Get a 22mm ring spanner.
Cut the cable off the sensor (not to short dumb ass)
Get the ring end on the sensor
Put the longest pipe you can find over the spanner
Undo it.
I have a special tool for these sensors. A 1/2" drive socket welded to a 22mm spanner. I can use my 1/2" drive breaker bar for extra leverage.
