Buy a new one... Mine didn't want to come out either. Even WITH the "right tool".

I have an extra 1 wire from my STD manifold when I bought it. This is tool that's supposed to help get your sensor out.

I have used various O2 sensor removing tools, that one is by far the best.

Ill check to see if I can find someone I know that has one. I just took all my stock manifold off and tried using a huge wrench, started to strip. thanks for the tips though
