I am changing my front O2 sensors. I got the passenger one out. But just barely. I tried the driver side one and there is no way that this is coming out. I have hooker LT's and when I double wrench the sensor it is starting to bend the headers. Anyone ran into this problem? I thought of cutting off the sensor and using an impact.

Any suggestions, and yes I put anti sieze this time on the passenger side b4 i installed the new one.

Thanks Ryan

Spray it down with some PB Blaster. If that doesn't work...bring out the torch.

They also sell sockets for the sensors that use a ratchet, you can get more torque on it like that.

I don't see why some heat wouldn't work.

Yeah, use a torch and heat it up.

I agree torch, the socket, you can also put a block of wood (small 2x4) on your jack and wedge one on top of header to maybe the floorboard, then put light pressure on bottom of header to keep header from bending.

Thanks guys. I am going to buy a O2 socket and use some heat.
