When you cut the wires on your speed sensor there will be several of fax. The most notable affect will be the malfunction of your speedometer.
What is wrong with them? If they are cut, simply hook back together and tape them.
If they cut a sensor wire, the trans could be stuck in 2nd.
If you are replacing a 02 sensor with a new one I would cut off the wires at the sensor and slip a 7/8" box wrench over the sensor and remove it with a counterclockwise motion.
Assuming you are replacing it with a new one, cut the wires off at the sensor and slip a 6 point 7/8" box wrench over the sensor, that should give you a good grip on the sensor.
If the sensor is not to be used again I would disconnect the wires leading to it then cut the wires off at the sensor. Now you can slip a 7/8" box wrench over the sensor and remove it by turning it counterclockwise. Install the new one using a 7/8" open end wrench.
cut both wires that run to the sensor and splice them together.
If you have the room I would cut the wires off at the sensor and slip a 1/2" drive, 6 point, 7/8" deep socket with a long breaker bar over the sensor.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT DROP THE OXYGEN SENSOR. EXTREMELY FRAGILE!!!! First figure out which one to replace. Buy a sensor for your model car or a univeral one. Should require four wires. Use a slotted socket or a wrench to remove the old sensor. Cut the wires approximately 3 inches from the connector between the connector and the old sensor. Wire in new sensor and install. Further instructions should come with sensor.
If you are replacing it with a new one, unplug the sensor from the harness, cut the wires off at the sensor, slip a 7/8" box wrench over the sensor and with a counterclockwise motion remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe. Install the new one using a 7/8" open end wrench and tighten as you would a spark plug, reconnect the wires to the harness.
If the wires were cut purposely then cap and tape the ends in case they become inadvertently energized. If the wires were cut inadvertently, the wires can be butt spliced together and retaped to bring the insulation factor up to what it was before the cut.
use to cut wires piste
