Used bosch O2 sensors

[brianl703]

When I changed the pre-cat rear O2 sensor on my '96 Contour, it had an NGK from the factory, but I replaced it with a Bosch.

I used an O2 sensor socket to remove the NGK sensor, but the Bosch has a thicker body so the O2 sensor socket wouldn't work to put the Bosch back in.

I had to go out and buy a 7/8" wrench to put the Bosch sensor in. The sensor on that car is very close to the firewall, so the O2 sensor socket wouldn't fit due to the size of the Bosch sensor (it would hit the firewall before it went over the sensor) when it had no problem fitting over the NGK. If it weren't for it being so close to the firewall there would have been no problem.

I've used Bosch Micro Edge Excel(no "Excel" anymore, just Micro Edge) wiper blades and they lasted about 3 years. Im good with that! And I have used Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs in a HONDA and they worked great(no difference than the NGK from what I could feel). And as I stated in a couple of posts back, the Bosch O2 & A/F Sensors...Good so far! So, to say the least, I haven't noticed any inferiority in Bosch products.
