Changed the distributor cap and rotor... Can't do the o2 sensors... Need to buy a 22mm wrench.
What did you do to your truck today?

Why buy new when you can restore?
I know AutoZone sells a "O2 sensor wrench". Its basically a large pipe/line wrench (you know that is 300* of wrench with a slit for the wire to go through). I think they also sell a socket just like it.
We don't have Autozone here...
And 22mm is more than enough to clear the connector
A regular 22mm wrench is going to be cheaper and actually useable on other parts of the truck

Yeah, I think I used a 22mm when I replaced one of mine. I had to use the open-end because the plug (4 pins in a row, not the square one) wouldn't fit through the box-end.

Hammer.
I'm changing 3 of them...
Two new ones going in before the cat, and one of the pre-cat ones is going after the cat
There was a noticable performance difference with my new cap + rotor

Wait, don't the S-series have 3 total (1 on each side after the header, and 1 post-cat)?I'm changing 3 of them...

Gotta go figure out how to remove the ECM. Looks like I need to remove 3 screws to get the bracket out that holds it. This is really stupid since the Silverado was just move a big metal strap/clip and slide it out

I've been knocked down drug out and left for dead
Drove it to take the wife to work, then went to the bank.

Yep... The only important ones are pre-cat, so those are getting the new ones...
The post cat sensor trips the check engine light until I make an appointment to take it into the shop
The o2 sensors on the S-series can actually be bad enough to cause issues without tripping the check engine light
As for the ECM... I'm not sure how that sucker comes out
Shouldn't be too bad, just be very careful 
Truck Needs a bath...better do that today before it gets cold again...
