Default How hard is the o2 sensor screwed on there?

Jebus, how hard is this thing on there. It feels like I'm about to break my wrench trying to get it off. You guys using a 20mm right? Any tips on getting this thing off? Why would this thing be trq'ed so tight, I don't understand.

They didnt invent the O2 Sensor socket for nothing. just get the one that is 1/2 socket and use a breaker bar and that O2 sensor should be out in no time.

The best way is going to be to get some leverage on that beotch just make sure you soaked it in some PB ----. Otherwise you may be better off just replacing the sensor as well.

yah they invented it to make money off it. this is HMT remember? pipe wrench worked great, channel locks work great to get it on and off whenever i need to do something that involves removing the dp
