I cut the wire, sprayed it with buster loose applied a little heat. Not very much and used a box wrench came off like nothing. Easy peasy. I’ll do 10,000 sensors over back shocks any day
I'm fighting mine right now. Wrench and special socket just rounded off the hex. Ordered a special bolt extractor socket, so I'll have to cut off the top of the sensor to use it. Sprayed with lots of penetrating oils and banged on it for vibration. Should I get a plumbing torch from Home Depot to heat it more? I figured running the truck will get the manifold warmed up.
@@the1andonly heat can be your friend, just be careful. Have fire extinguisher on hand! Try to only heat the pipe not the old sensor. If you can get an impact socket on it that could help.
I use a smith style torch with LP instead of acetylene. It’s much cheaper to operate and you can use the 20lb tank from your grill, camper, etc.. the difference is in the tips.
Yep thanks on that one but man I got a 1989 Chevy I put fule pump in fule sensor fule duse new distributor air flow sensor throttle position sensor it's a hassle I like the truck though been a good one for me for a long time but hey it happens have a blessed day or night
I'm going to replace mine tomorrow providing it comes in as scheduled hopefully it will come out with any issues
Heat is always your friend…😀

@@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418 Thank you! maybe I'll have to get a torch then 🤔
Nice! Great feeling when something like that budges 👍
You got that right!
What kind of torch did you hear that bung with? I’m looking at the options at home depot

Why didn't you use an oxygen sensor thread chaser instead?
Don’t have one. I’ve only had to do something like this twice. So didn’t seem worth it to buy one.
@@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418 But, would a thread chaser be as effective also?
@@Zeberka767 that I can’t say. I would think if it was designed for that job it would work.
