o2 sensor removal

[power=dsm]

what the f***, why won't it unscrew??? i tried so hard i think my rachet will brake!

The o2 sensors are usually tough to get out if they havent been removed recently. The best tool I have had luck with is a 7/8 flare wrench and a little persuasion. Keep working at it and it should come.

Are you using an 02 sensor socket? I assume so since your using a ratchet, try letting your car run for a few minutes to heat it up just be careful not to burn yourself.

Extend that ratchet with a 2 foot pipe. It should pop right off or break your ratchet. If thats the case, than invest in a better ratchet.

if the o2 housing is off the car maybe you could try a little heat. get a propane torch and heat that baby up.then use the socket
