I haven't had the greatest luck with multiple O2 sensor sockets soo i won't recommend any of the ones I've come across but what i would advise on is the removal.

Cut the wires off the old/stock sensor, grab the appropriately sized combo wrench (7/8" iirc) using the closed end or a deep well 6pt socket and some pre heat to the threaded bung and not the sensor - give it some removal pressure.

Get a bosch universal sensor. It comes with a pretty good connection. Just gotta wire it in.

X2 on this advice...The O2 sockets just don't get it done for me either...The closed end or socket work most times....And I've even resorted to the heat BUT had to use a big pipe wrench on one to get it out ..I took it to the local garage and was told they have "the best removal tool available" and couldn't get the job done...

If a wrench fails, typically get the rental set from my local auto store. Those typically come with a a couple fo different sockets. The cheaper ones will typically spin off.

I was under the impression that the OP needed the electrical socket, not the removal tool socket wrench?

Yeah, I figured that the request for a part number was a clue.

Well, ok but not necessarily... MOPAR does have part numbers for their tools...And while "socket" is correct "connector" could have been used for clarification...Anyhow is the socket/connector a serviceable part on it's own ??? That kind of stuff is a boneyard item for me most of the time...

It's been 5 days... must not be that important

If your talking the jeep harness side of the connector - junkyard snip and pocket or someone's partout. If you happen to be talking about the lead end of the o2 sensor then you should prolly just replace the o2 completely
