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!

:tiphat: 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 :stirthepot:

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

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.

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.

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.
