O2 Sensor in '90 Ramcharger

From : dutchman

Q: is there a special tool made just to take the o2 sensor off a 1990 ramcharger ive got one but the motor mount is in the way. i cant use a wrench because there are bosses around the sensor itself. id hate to take the thing to the dealer just to unscrew a sensor. .
