O2 sensor size

What size wrench goes on to the stock O2 sensor? I am the mild of a DP install and thats all I have left but I need to buy a stubby wrench to tighten it but I can;t figure out what the size is.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Justus

I don't know for sure, but I would guess 17mm. Don't forget some anti-seize for the threads.

I think it is a 17mm......... I just did my DP a couple of weeks ago, but I guess my memory isn't what it used to be.

Just run up to your local Autozone or similar store. They should have an O2 sensor socket that should fit (which is what I used).

I would use the socket but I have no way to get a ratchet in there that is why I need the stubby open end wrench.
If someone has an o2 socket could you please tell me what size it is??
Thanks again Justus

Looks like a 22mm.

I do remember that my stock O2 and replacement where different sizes, but not too far off.

so you have the DP off? Why not just install the O2 when the new DP is still out of the car? Then you wouldn't have to use a stubby. Just use a good old cresent wrench

I think it's 22mm. I used a 7/8" crows foot wrench for mine. Worked like a charm.

the threaded portion is 18mm so that throws the 17mm crowd out of the equation. . . go with 22mm or vice-grips. hahahaha.
