Or a 7/8" combination wrench, which is what I usually use for just about all 02 sensors I have come across. 7/8 is close to 22mm, but I have rounded a few using a 22mm. I trust the 7/8.

Sent while driving!

I will just go with the combination wrench set. Although I guess I'll get both Metric and SAE. The FSM says 22 mm, although it specifies some specialty tool that appears to be stupid expensive.

I left my Z there for now and will have the wife drop me off to get it later this evening. She'll be so thrilled that she has a 7AT to drive now

Ms. Pint came by for her stolen merchandise a few minutes ago. No more 2x 370Z household

And you didn't even take pictures!

Thanks again for dealing with my dirty car. Sorry you had to see a Z that way.

I know... I just thought about that

I got busy once we got my Z home.

Well yours is much happier now

I'm just glad I could help

Went to 1/8 mi track to test before Uprev.

Track had 0 prep so didn't launch but still whooped up on new camaro ss (don't think he could drive) and 98 mustang gt (he got me on launch but I was saying bye bye by 2nd gear)

Hit 5k miles this past week so I threw in some k&n drop ins today since the paper was dirty. Been raining too much lately so I haven't been able to take the gix to work like I want too. The z needs to be polished this weekend. End semi drunk post

still working on putting little things back together but the Z is almost back to one piece with the full vinyl wrap color change. I miss the red but the gold is bright.

De plastidipped my handles. Now I know why you should put on tons of coats. What a chore

With my buddy taking the lead, we got 60-70% through Z1 CSC Elimination Kit install. Most of the kit is installed. The work isn't fun, especially without a lift or a jack or jack stands that allow us to remove the transmission out from under the car. All that said, we really haven't encountered any hassles except a few bolts and some tight fitting working conditions. We'll finish up tomorrow morning.

Here's a few more photos of the work done yesterday. Should be getting back to work a little later this morning.

OEM front bell housing cover removed.

New cover, throwout bearing, and lever arm installed for the CSC Elimination Kit.

( Click to show/hide )

I'm happy the clutch plate looks to be in good shape for 50K+ miles.

The root cause of this work - I wasn't interested in the OEM CSC failing while I'm out in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Thank you, Nissan, for using clutch components made of plastic.
