A trusted source told me a few hrs. ago - 1 1/16".
Maybe he has the NAPA p/n as well, JIC the parts guy gives the wrong part?
Cause that never happens, but if this is gonna be such a pain, I want the right part, tool, & get resolved.
Tired of little oil spots, it's not like it's Arkansas or TX, & I can just throw some dirt over the oil spots or some cow
!
Sorry, I had to Cody.

A little update. Both front o2's on, Driver's was a breeze, Pass. not so much. Due to a recessed in the shield cat, I needed a slick tool to remove that o2 on Rt (pass.) side.
So another task done.
The Oil Press Sending Unit has been an absolute nightmare. Cant remove it w/. either narrow wall sockets I bought. Somethin is interfering, but it's so tight & impossible to see.
Thinkin it could be valley protrudes just enuff so socket won't seat.
Or when cast, casting overhangs.
Another roadblock, unbelieveable.
I so don't wanna remove Radix, but I don't know if a 1/16" Crowfoot doesn't work. Tomorrow I gotta get that. We'll see.
At least my PO446 code is cleared, & I can pump w/o any issue now; gas pump kept shuttin off prior to fixin Evap Solenoid Purge Canister I think it's called. Dealt w/. that **** for 2 yrs.

I'll start w/. problems I encountered before the good stuff.
I'm doin this so maybe others will not have same problem, but they'd likely need to live in Rustbelt or where roads are salted or corrosion like near the Coasts. Those with all nylon lines entering Fuel Tank Module (which houses fuel pump) likely won't suffer same dilemma.
See O-ring packs. I forgot color order w/o referring to pic, but there's a 3 pc. O-ring group (dark green, yellow & black) on ea. line.
U should never see those, & the black part is the inside of the lines, & that's exactly where that black part should stay. It's near where the rusty lines meet the nylon.
This big retainer wouldn't even break loose. At first.
It goes to Evap Return.
Turns out to remove it, u actually act like you're installing it. Roger is the man!
It separated into 2 halves. Not good.
Ya, this is maintenance, but still, it'll perform better when bad o2 is gone. All carboned up, this is B1S1. B2 is worse, way worse. MPG's gotta improve by this alone, but w/. 100 extra HP or so, it's just a good idea.
The 2 on top are used only: 7/8" o2 Dp. skt. w/. slit works on my L side, but RF needs to have collector removed & exh. dropped cause o2 is so close to frame, unless I have this tool, then no exhaust droppin needed.

Oil Press. Sending Unit, good luck finding it. It's there tho.
Sadly, Radix came off cause somethin was up.
The culprit!!!
Not on your best day is it comin loose.
A better view why not.
They only go 1 way, installer error. Experience woulda likely helped me not do that, but this was all new to me. Distractions don't help either!!!
Valley Pan never had to come off, but thanks to Magnacharger for sendin me wrong directions. Twice!!!
Original was for SUV, differs some than Pickups. After callin them, they sent for TVS but I found that out after printing 70 pgs.!!!
I replaced it anyway. Cause I don't wanna go diggin back there again.

No, if Magnacharger sends u instructions for SUV, they're not same as Pickup. The 2nd set, for TVS, aren't either, but they sent to me & then I find that out after printing 70 pgs.!!!

Will it work or not? Another time I'll check.
5/8" IC Hose, same as Gates Htr. Hose
