PB Blaster and let it sit for about an hour. Then, heat is up slightly and
use the longest handle ratchet or long box-end wrench you can fit.

Subject: DML: O2 sensor woes
Ok folks good news and bad.
Good news, truck just rolled over 100k MILES.
Bad news my forward O2 sensor is on the fritz and won't budge. Have tried
heat, had the bung glowing cherry red. Kroil, candle wax, etc.
I'd also like to give the engunear who decided to put it on top of the
exhaust pipe the intelligent design award for taking such care in protecting
1 of the 2 sensors. The one behind the cat is inconveniently located on the
side of the pipe, right where it is easily accessed by a rattle gun.
Granted I only spent a little time fighting it with it, since in this new
climate of global warming it was cold enough outside to freeze the balls off
a brass monkey. And If I have to I can do the plug the new one in and hide
it to pass inspection.......
So any suggestions?
