for the one pre cat that sits on the manifold, i used vice grips and pulled really hard, once you break it lose it comes off easy after that

use a O2 sensor socket if it didn`t work.

I've had great luck with vice grips as well as an o2 socket (autozone rental)

heat it up, beat it with a hammer (it loosens the threads) and then get a nice big 22mm wrench on it and ------- own it with your foot. those o2 sensor sockets ------- suck donkey cock.
