Default tips for replacing driver side O2 sensor (upstream) on 2014 F150

I have a 2014 F-150 FX4 with the ecoboost 6 cyl and my drivers side 02 sensor needs to be replaced. I have the part and an 02 socket but the old sensor is in a real tight spot, pretty awkward to get to and I can't get a breaker bar on it. I'm stuck basically since i can't budge the old one to remove it. Would love some ideas on how to get this done if anyone has tackled this repair successfully. Thanks!!

Map gas!!! heat that sucker up first. I went to pawn shop and purchased a long 7/8 box end wrench.
Bent it at the vise to get the angle I needed. Pain in the butt, but was able to get some leverage on it.
And it popped.

Default O2

Who needs a socket unless you are planning on reusing the wire just cut it and throw a ratchet on it. If you still can’t budge it get a hammer

^ what he said

make sure you cut the correct side of the harness

might be able to use a swivel on there as well
