Default O2 sensor removal

Anyone know of the best way to remove the front o2 sensor on drivers side 2010 4x4 4.6l? Front driveshaft and cat are too close together to get a wrench in there and debating if I should remove the front driveshaft to get some room.

Try using a o2 sensor socket.

I removed mine with an open ended wrench on a 5.4L very close fit and only moving the wrench an eighth/qtr of a turn, flip the wrench and repeat ,,, maybe cut a wrench in half if need be

thanks for the reply. Finally got it last night with an offset socket with a closed end wrench over the ratchet for some extra leverage.
