okay…something happened. didnt post my content. well. my 02 sensor is seized. Looks really old and rusted. I cant get it out! I got the “special” socket from partsource, some gunk rust loosening spray. and im running out of patience and grip. (edges are starting to round, i dont want to do any more damage. any tips? if i take it to a shop how much will the charge to remove and install my new one? thanks guys. frustrating…

Liquid Wrench - AKA, a Torch. Get her nice and hot and she’ll come out.
