There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Any tips on removing/installing an oxygen sensor?

In my case it’s a 2013 RT…

Hey T. I thought this was familiar. Is this the same issue from April of last year? Have you ridden it since then? A 2013 with 2500 miles. And you already changed one O2 sensor that was very carboned up. I assume the front one. I think it would be beneficial to start with a clean slate and re-diagnose - are you riding it, how well does it run, how old is the gas, what codes do you have, etc etc. You know the drill.

If you already replaced the front one, and posted the picture - which is the correct one based on P0131 - you’re replacing the rear one now? What’s the basis for that? Replacing an O2 sensor is pretty rare on a 998. But two in two years? I’d dive a little deeper. How many miles in the past three years and how old is the gas, for example.
But to your question, I never had to remove a rear sensor. It was always something else. A ratchet wrench sounds like the right ticket. Flex head. Or flex head O2 sensor wrench. I can’t recall if it’s too tight for an O2 sensor socket. I’d try anything before having to remove the gas tank. A front one was just an open end wrench after moving a bit of intake duct work aside.
