I am trimg to replace o2 sencer bank 1 circuit 1 the o2 sencer on top of the manafold befor the converter how to reach it.
You can reach it through the engine compartment over the top of the manifold. I tried from below and it's very hard. On top you can use a breaker bar and get plenty of muscle into it. it's reallt tight I suspect. Again, reach all the way over the engine through the engine compartment.
Worked like a charm for me. Good Luck
You should be able to reach it from the top. It is a stretch. The hardest part is getting it out. If you have the new part already you can cut the wires and use a regular socket wrench to get it off. Some like to run the engine for a minute or two before starting. Soak it with PB Blaster, wait a minute, and go at it. If clearance is an issue, try a box end wrench. The socket designed for the O2 sensor has a split in it that sometimes can spread. It is also hard to use the knuckles as they deflect a lot of torque.
Once it is removed, make sure that the paste is on the threads. This will help the next time this needs to be done. Thread it in, torque it down, and plug it in ( the plug is on the alternator bracket.)
