Default oxygen sensor tool?

What tool is there to remove the Oxygem sensor in 87-93 5.0's? Because theres no way mines coming out on an auto car without a special tool. I have seen the socket with the slot but i am not even sure if that would work.... Thanks

I use a boxed end wrench....either remove the plug from the wires or cut it off if you are going to replace it.

+1 ^^^

It took me approximately 90 seconds to replace both oxygen sensors just using an ordinary wrench. Seemed like one of the easier things to do. Then again, I have the sn95 so maybe something is slightly different in yours.

try a line wrench if it's being a b!tch

like a closed end w/ a cut in it to fit over a line, if that doesn't do it, it's not coming out
