Okay so my p0430 code came back. I am trying to swap the sensors side to side. I have the sensor sockets, but am having quite a bit of trouble with the bank 1 sensor, not much room to work around there. Any tips or advice??

thanks

Did you get it out?
I do not own a O2 wrench or socket.
I have always used a regular wrench, cresent wrench, or when they are real tight a pipe wrench.

actually, the one that was throwing the code was the one i thought would give me the most problem. I did get that one out pretty easily. The other one was giving me problems. The o2 sensor was only 30-35 bucks from amazon so i figured put a new one in, instead of fighting with and possibly ruining a bad one too.

i got it out after soaking it with liquid wrench, letting the truck run for about 5 mins and using the o2 socket.

Im getting that same code on my 99 2 door tahoe the o2 sensors were replace about a month ago i am thinking that i have a clogged up catylitic converter because it feels very slugish as if i was dragging an anchor at but only at wide open throttle.
