02 housing removal help!

Well, yeah you probably guessed it I can't get the 14mm hidden "nut" out and I'm looking for help

I can get a 14mm socket in the nut, but I can NOT attach anything to the socket, can't get a swivel on it can't get an extension on it or anything so I'm confused as to what to do, HELP PLEASE!!

are you going from the top? I vaguely remember being able to add an extension when I took all of my bolts off, I dont recall having any bolts that i could not put an extension on, also have you tried getting a ratcheting wrench?

Try to rotate the complete housing about 90 degrees. This one bolt took me nearly 4 hours until I was on top of the motor leaning on the housing and it just rotated around for me lol. Call it luck or GOD but it works and allowed me to get right to the 14mm.

I would say luck, because mine ain't going NOWHERE while one of the nuts is still fully attached

Gear wrench, won't fit. HOWEVER, that racheting wrench looks like it could do the trick because of how it is bent.

This reminds me of the old times I had with my 93 Talon TSI and the O2 housing.

I don't know if you've tried to remove the O2-sensor housing from an Evo X, but it is orders of magnitude more of a PITA than any DSM. IMO, of course.
