    I bought one when I changed mine.
    For $7 for a tool I will use for the rest of my life.
    I used the socket on a 3/8" wrench and put my jack handle over the wrench. The sensor broke loose with little effort thanks to the leverage. I don't think I used any penetrating fluid either. My car has no rust, though.

    I would recommend the socket. You can get your hands out of the engine bay so it is less likely to smash/gash something and you can add cheater bars for leverage. You also wouldn't want to round that thing off using a crescent or open end wrench

    Changed the oil, balanced and rotated my tires, topped everything off, including the jugs in the back. (free fluids at work!)

    Mine is in the shop for an alignment and balance. I'm hoping that will take care of my shimmy at 60+mph. It doesn't vibrate at low speeds on mine. I hope that's a good thing!

    low speed vibration is indicative of a shifted belt or bent hub. better have that looked at again...

    I've got a low speed vibration/steering wheel shudder..
    Newish tires with less than 9,000 miles, too. They were just balanced and rotated to the front.
    I've just gotten used to these cars having noises and vibrations.
