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.

 

i would spray some WD-40 or PB Blaster on their and let it soak if its that hard to get out. Mabey just pull your skirt up a little :P

 

they're siezed inthere pretty good, I ended up using another one and just left it :P

 

there not tight its seized, heat the bung red hot with a torch and you'll be golden

 

or use big breaker baaarrrrr

 

ive had ones ive never been able to get out. just kinda gave up.

 

slip like a 4ft pipe on the end of a pipe wrench and some thrust or pb blaster. i was able to get both of my o2's out that way

 

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
