2016 Nissan Maxima Removing bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensor
Removing bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensor
What is your question?
I’ve got an engine code that points to my bank 1 sensor 2 oxygen sensor. I’ve located the sensor under the car just before the catalytic converter. It sits just before a j in the pipe that comes down from the engine and the piece attaches to the rest of the exhaust right behind it with 3 bolts. I have the o2 socket set with the offset opening for a 3/8” drive ratchet, I can’t get the ratchet extension on except at an angle with an elbow. I have sprayed it to unseize it, several times, I’ve started to remove the pipe at the triangle connection but one bolt’s placement I can’t get enough leverage. I have tried everything under the sun for the past 3 weeks and can’t get the sensor out. Am I missing something, am I doing something wrong, I’m literally stuck.
What makes this problem better or worse?

How long has your 2016 Nissan Maxima had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2016 Nissan Maxima. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
First of all, sensor two is after the catalytic converter, not before it.
Second of all, there are many different tools that a technician will use to access difficult to remove components. I can't really speculate on the proper tool needed from here; a hands on inspection and attempt by a technician near you will be what is needed for each specific vehicle type and component replacement.
