The O2 sensors.

This is what I used to get the passenger side one off.

I found a couple of threads here and here about replacing the passenger side sensor.

Ummm...here comes a dumb question...where are the sensors located? Would I be able to find a diagram in the FSM?

May I ask where you purchased the socket on the left side of your picture of tools you used?

Any help much appreciated.

I have the tool on the left and this is what I used on both sides.

Thanks for your reply.

I was actually wondering where the left tool could be purchased. Any help?

I found the following when I was searching last week:

1) O'Reilly
2) Harbor Freight

When I was at O'Reilly's to buy the socket, I found out you can rent a 3 piece O2 sensor socket set (different brand than the one they sell) from O'Reilly's for free for 48 hours ($26 deposit that's refunded when returned). I rented this, but there just wasn't enough clearance for me to even get the socket around the sensor. I'm not sure if this is just specific to my Z or whether the socket they rent is just too thick.

Thanks for the leads. I'll check out Harbor Freight as the O'Reilly one looks identical.
