Product Information

Full details

The Oxygen Lambda Sensor Socket Remover (AV526) is a specialized automotive tool designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need to safely remove, inspect, or replace 22mm oxygen sensors. Its primary benefit is the integrated side cut-out, which allows the socket to slide over sensor wiring without causing damage to the delicate electrical components; however, users should note that this 22mm socket is size-specific and will not fit sensors with different hexagonal dimensions.

FAQs

Will this work on all oxygen sensors?

This tool is specifically designed for 22mm sensors. Please check your sensor size before use.

Can I use this with an impact wrench?

It is recommended to use hand tools to avoid damaging the sensor threads or the socket itself.

What is the finish made of?

The tool features a black phosphate finish, which is chosen for its superior rust and corrosion resistance.

Does it fit both heated and unheated sensors?

Yes, the cut-out design accommodates the wiring harness found on both heated and unheated models.

Is this tool suitable for professional use?

Yes, the durability of the construction makes it suitable for both commercial garages and home workshop use.

Why is there a cut-out on the side?

The cut-out allows the socket to pass over the sensor's electrical wires, which would otherwise obstruct a standard deep-well socket.

Troubleshooting

Socket will not fit over the sensor hex

Verify that your sensor is exactly 22mm; some vehicle sensors use different sizes.

Socket slips off the sensor during high torque

Ensure the socket is pushed fully onto the hex and that the drive tool is perfectly aligned with the axis of the sensor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated cut-out protects sensitive wiring during removal
  • Durable black phosphate finish prevents oxidation
  • Compatible with a wide variety of popular vehicle brands
  • Ensures a secure, non-slip fit on 22mm sensor nuts

Cons

  • Limited to 22mm sensor sizes only
  • Requires a 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch drive ratchet (not included)
  • Not suitable for recessed sensors requiring an offset design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this tool, ensure the engine is cool to the touch to prevent burns. The socket is compatible with standard ratchets and is confirmed for use on Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Vauxhall, Opel, GM, and Volkswagen. After use, wipe the socket with a clean shop rag to remove oil, grease, or road debris. Store the tool in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the black phosphate anti-corrosion layer.
