I used a 12" extension on with a swivel adapter. Then muscled the **** outta it. All of the sudden i heard a creakin then pop it was loose. And if you haven't tried it yet PB Blaster is your friend! Every shade tree mechanic should have a can of it laying around!

[sportred04]

if you have any diesel works good too. and a smoke wrench

[ChdMcD]

ya still no luck starting to get a lil mad! heated it up tried pb blaster thinking bout just buying some headers

[whiney]

How hot? Lol

[ChdMcD]

pretty much red hot! it burnt like hell when i touched it. definatly gonna leave a scar

[rynoman03]

This is a dumb question but are you using a o2 Sensor Socket ? It seems to make things a bit easier. I tried removing mine with a wrench and never got it to budge. Bought the socket and had it removed and replaced in 10 minutes.

Try some CRC freeze off. Or hit the weight room.

O_o

[kjohnson]

get a longer bar and a big hammer. if you break it off go to a shop and have them put in a new spot to put it. either way itll be good as new

[hourang]

seriously, an open end wrench with a 3foot pipe on it, if you dont either break the wrench, o2 sensor, or something else, your not putting enough pressure on it.

a wrench with a mini sledge works good too.

[whiney]

if you are trying that hard, just use a damn impact and if you break it, just another excuse to get headers.

Pb blaster, and the shock from a hammer, broke free in a few minutes for me.
