Re: removing o2 sensor
02 sensors suck. I've had that problem twice, I simulated narrowband operations with my wideband so didn't have to do it agian. I lost about 20% fuel economy. Im at 260-270 miles to the tank 70% city 30% freeway. The average I was getting with my old o2's were around 330-340miles to the tank.
Even with the 22mm and a 2 foot pipe I striped the o2 sensor. I eventually had to take the o2 housing off with the o2 still inside the housing to get the bitch off.. Why are you taking the front o2 off? Unless you're chaning the exhaust manifold or o2 housing you don't need to touch that o2.

Re: removing o2 sensor
I'm putting a new o2 housing on. My o2 sensors might be bad anyway if you said 260-270mi per tank is bad....I dont think I've ever gotten more than 250mi on a full tank.

Re: removing o2 sensor
Whenever you get that little bugger out coat the new one with anti-seize so this will never happen again.

Re: removing o2 sensor
Man you should be able to get that o2 sensor out. My car spent all of its life up in illinois and virginia before i got it to SC. The exhaust was all rusted out but i was still able to get the sensor out behind the cat by putting the wrench on and kicking it. The one on the o2 housing was a bitch too but i still got it off with just a wrench and some wd40. Even running straight exhaust with no cat my second o2 sensor is hooked in to the exhaust and i havent had a cel from it.

Re: removing o2 sensor
Ya, I couldn't believe it wouldn't come off either. I used WD40 and even hit the bolt, with a wrench hanging off of it, with a baseball bat 4 times. Whenever I bought the car it came with some kind of cat-back so I hope the previous owner didn't put something on the bolt. I'm going to try and get it off again soon.

Re: removing o2 sensor
Well after long await I finally got the exhaust on but I had to take it to a shop which turned out to be more expensive than I thought...$300 w/ icluded a new o2 sensor but my parents paid for half anyway...it sounds so much better than the old cat back that was on the car. It sounds about the same at idle and low rpm, but when you step on it it really sounds good. The only problem is when I got home (about 5min ago) it smelled like something was burning so I popped the hood and a bunch of steam/vapor came out but that may have been b/c it's like 20F here. They also didnt put the heat sheild back on the o2 housing...
