I've tried everything I can, but that shield will no budge. I can pull it forwards a little, and then let a little. But not enough to get it over the hard part of the sensor. There's just to much stuff around the shield (pipes and what not). Does the picture I posted look like what you see on yours?

What's on O2 socket? I can't find any socket big enough to get over the other end of the sensor.

- EDIT -
OH, never mind. I found a picture of one. It has a slit down the edge, I'll try and pick one of those up then. Thanks.

 

hey if you shield wont budge then you havent unscrewed all the bolts there is another one or two hiding that you havent found

 

Hey Duke,
Is your model the 4 cyl? But to answer your question, the picture is the exact same as mine. Though, tonight i'll take a look at mine and make sure there are only 3 bolts and see if my 02 sensor seems to be the same length. Or check your library/autozone and look in a Haynes manual.

 

It moves just fine, like I said though, there isn't enough space to remove it.

All is good now though, I got a socket and didn't have to remove the heat shield at all.
