Have you tried taking it out AFTER you have driven and warmed it up?

Trying to take out a cold O2 sensor is much much harder than after you warm it up. Get a breaker bar/pipe and throw a socket on it and it should come off after a little struggle!

before he goes over to help you, spray quatro or wd40 on it every couple hours or so (dont drive it around tho), but if its got a mountain of corrosion, break out the acetylene torch! lol

If I didn't have to work tonight I'd come by and help. I have all the sockets for O2 sensors and have gotten out some pretty sticky ones before. The tips above are spot on. They come out _MUCH_ easier when the exhaust is nice and hot, just watch yourself working around it. If possible use a box-end wrench (unplug the sensor and feed the wire through the wrench) then lock something on to the end of it to get some leverage. Don't use an open-ended wrench, and unless you cut the wires you can't really get a normal socket on to it.

WD40 won't do shit all..... get some PD Blaster and soak it every couple hours. It'll come out no problem after that.

ok gonna head to ct to pick up some pd blaster and see how it works out
