Replacing O2 sensor in 97 v6 CA emission camry

[BoostedSchemes]

So I need to replaced the B1S1 sensor after finding a p0135 code with my lm2. Of course its the one that's a bitch to get to. I normally do these with a crescent wrench but this bad boy clearly needs a legit o2 sensor socket because I am going to strip the hell out of it otherwise, and yet there will be very little room back there with a ratchet of any length. Anyone have any advice? Is there anything simple to unbolt to give more room to get at it from either above or below?

My car is a NY car with CA emmisions standards so I do not think I can wire in a cheapo universal, I am presuming to use the Denso 234-9009 seen here: (cheapest price I could find).

Any advice, tips, etc are appreciated. I have 10 days to get this car running code free and pass inspection, but due to my work in NYC I only get about 1 hour or less of wrench time across those 10 days.

Thanks bud, that site shows the same sensor as I have listed which is good news since that indicates it is indeed CA legal, except they have it for 155$ and wunder has it for ~125$.

Any tips about actual replacement?

some auto part stores have an o2 sensor socket which will very easily remove the sensor.I've used them quite a few times.Some will lend them for free.
