Is there some trick to getting O2 sensors loose? I screwed up the threads on the sensor and in the y-pipe bung. Tried appying heat which seemed like it was working, but obviously didn’t. Can’t use solvents, right?

Tried a flare nut wrench but wasn’t long enough. Can’t get a box over the connector - had to use open.
I guess a little PB would have been better than no threads left. :doh:

It was a front one, but I already dicked it up. I’ll be more careful with the other side.

If anyone needs to replace an O2 sensor, check out
[www.oxygen-sensor-warehouse.com](http://www.oxygen-sensor-warehouse.com). A Bosch for my car is $44.92 (free shipping) vs. AdvanceAuto’s price of $54.36 (including tax).
